This term we were lucky to have the knowledgable Melinda come and work with us once a week to grow our knowledge of computational thinking and coding.

We learnt that whenever you are wanting to program a device you need to have a clear event that starts what will happen, precise and efficient algorithms and a courageous and persistent mindset!

4T were able to transfer their knowledge from Scratch Jr to a new app called Hopscotch where they explored the functions of the blocks and variables to create various games.

4T are now putting their knowledge to the test and designing and creating their own maths games to assist in practising a concept already learnt this year.

Some game learning intentions include:

• To practise times tables facts

• To convert fractions to decimals

• To find equivalent fractions

Have you ever created a game? What was its learning intention and aim?
