Digital Leaders: Programming with Hopscotch

November 30, 2015
A group of our Year 5 Digital Leaders have been using their extra Computing time to explore the Hopscotch iPad app. This introduces programming in a user friendly way, helping develop a greater understanding of some key computing concepts. Our Digital Leaders have worked together to program the steps necessary to write the name of our school on their screens. We have been very impressed with the initiative they have shown to develop their programming skills in their break and lunch times.

"We wanted to show that, when you put your mind to it, programming is quite easy."

"The most difficult thing was deciding the angles."

"We showed Mr Emes. He thought it was great and gave us the Headteacher's Award."

"Next, we have been challenged to program a simple game. We are confident we can do it!"
