Nabb Lunchtime Computing!

Twice per week, at lunchtime, around eight children meet in the Y3 classroom for a computer club. They are all very interested in coding and all things ‘computing.’ They love working collaboratively and finding things out from each other. At the moment, they are working in Scratch to make a game where the sprites try to catch you and stop you from completing the game. There is also an especially mischievous sprite with extra things to catch people out.

“We love working together as we get so much done, learn lots together and try things out!”

 

Wreath Making in Y3

This afternoon, Y3 made their Christmas Wreaths. They used many natural materials, including holly, which they had collected earlier. First of all they designed their wreath, and when they were happy with it, they stuck everything down. The final results were just gorgeous. We even had dried orange slices which gave us a lovely Christmas smell!
