Computing Opportunities 2024-2025
As we enter our third year using Purple Mash as a school it is brilliant to see that the children are logging on and enjoying the range of games, quizzes and computing tools available to them at home! Your child's teacher should be able to provide their username and log in (KS1 and KS2). If there are any issues please contact Ms Rutherford via the office for support.
Coding Club
This year's Young Coder's competition is officially live! Anyone from Year 4, 5 and 6 can enter. More information and an application form can be found here.
To enter either as an individual or as a team (of up to six coders) children must speak to Ms Rutherford by Friday 28th March. The competition closes on Wednesday 7th May. 
Micro:bit Workshops
As a school we have been gifted with a set of brand new Micro:bits! Ms Rutherford will be running one off Micro:bit workshops across this year. Children will be invited along to an after school session where they can learn how to programme their own Micro:bit and do incredible things with it. For more information on what these brilliant little computers can do, please visit https://microbit.org/
