P5 - Coding Week

24th Sep 2025
During Coding Week, P5 had a fantastic time becoming digital artists and coders. They were introduced to key language of coding - learning all about algorithms, bugs (and how to squash them!), debugging, decomposition, pixels and repeat loops. One of their challenges was a decomposition shape-sorting activity where they had to piece together different shapes to create a complete image - great for stretching those problem solving muscles!

Later in the week, things got even more fun as they teamed up to guide Spheros through tricky mazes using iPads and joystick controls. There were a few wobbly walls along the way, but that didn’t stop the laughter or the learning! A great week of creativity, teamwork and lots of techy fun!
