Whitchurch Primary School

'Work Together, Play Together, Succeed Together'

Digital Leaders

Our Digital Leaders come from Year 6 and assume responsibilities around the school for different areas of IT.  They also have the opportunity to come to an after-school and lunchtime club to learn and develop their coding skills in addition to what they learn in the classroom.  

 

This half term we have been using the Lego Education sets new to the school and the children have teamed up, given themselves team names and are doing a 'Scrapheap Challenge' each week.   Here is a little taster of what they have been up to and the team results so far!
