Today we had our virtual school remembrance Day assembly where we took time to remember those who fought for peace and to appreciate the freedoms we have today. Students also learned about the basics of coding in computer science. They learned that code is a computer language that can be used by programmers to make computers and robots behave in certain ways. Students then used colour codes to program ozobot robots to follow specific movements. We will be practising the basics of colour coding again on Friday. What a fun way to learn about code!
