For our final session we explored the use and teaching of programming within the primary classroom. We explored the use of Scratch and Scratch Jr. This was fun to explore the software and an example of a game that I made on Scratch can be seen above. In addition, we also explored the use of Bee Bots to explore programming.

Whilst I had some prior experience of programming experiments in E-Prime as part of my undergraduate degree, it was interesting to revisit and refresh this knowledge as well as it exploring it in a more child friendly context. The possibilities for using such activities within the classroom appear endless and offer an opportunity to marry up other aspects of the computing curriculum such as algorithms and coding.
