"Hour of Code" which has an i pad app version. Mrs Dijkstra hopes to use this program as a component of Tinker-time. It requires the children to problem solve and write instructions. We began with a Minecraft theme and later on children can opt for Moana or Star Wars version. This learning builds upon the coding we do with the Osmo Kits and will prepare the class for working with "Scratch" as they progress through the school. James was on hand if Mr Armstrong had any queries.
Alexandra's Mum : We have all been using Hour of Code at home - Alexandra, James (4y), Nana and I have all been learning to code. This programme is awesome! Thank you for introducing Alexandra to it.
ReplyDeleteAlexandra says : "I have done the Elsa and Anna programme and the Moana programme. My favourite was the Moana one. At the end of the Moana one we got to make up a dance for the Kakamura Coconut creatures. It looked superduper funny."
Alexandra's Mum : "Mine looked like they were doing a haka."
