Computing is such an important life skill. Technology has become part of everyday life and for most of us is essential to our lives at home and school. We have all had a sharp learning curve in Computing already this term with our online learning! At the heart of the Computing curriculum is programming and debugging.

Most of you in KS2 have been using these skills through Google Classroom in the way you have overcome the challenges of uploading and turning in work. If you would like to widen your Computing skills, Scratch is a brilliant free programming resource where you can create your own interactive stories, games and animations. There are some great tutorials on the website and examples of what others have created.
