Scratch Coding with Ashling!

We had a very interesting morning last week when a parent, Ashling, came into our class to teach us all about coding and show us how to make an image come to life on a computer screen!

The children were extremely engaged and listened very well during this lesson and they all managed to make aliens, space ships and astronauts move around on the Moon or in Outer Space which I really was very impressed by!

The children were given a small slip of paper with a username and password if you'd like to your child to try it during the Summer. I really couldn't believe how quickly they got the hang of it, so well done you clever Junior Infants!

A huge thank you and happy summer!

Hey everyone, I just want to say thank you so much for such a wonderful two years. The children are a credit to all the parents and each child should be very proud of themselves because they have come so far since starting in Junior Infants two years ago. They are all so unique and full of personality and have given me so much happiness and laughs every day. I'll miss them hugely but I know they will love the new challenges and exciting changes in First Class. Always feel free to pop into me whenever you're passing and good luck in the future! Jessica ☺
