Knowing how to program a computer will be a really useful skill for the jobs of the future. Hour of Code helps to give all children a chance to try some coding. At Holbrook we already do a lot of coding over the years you are with us but Hour of Code has some great resources that are loads of fun and teach skills that we can use in our own programs later.

Dots and Boxes!
We have done brilliantly learning how to log in and get to the Year 1 blog. Can we do it without any help from Mr Connolly?
When we logged in we had to navigate to the blog before we could play the games. (Mums and Dads although we are playing games we are using many other skills without realising…
- reading and comprehension to work out how to play the game.
- Fine motor control – Mouse control / touch pad
- Hand to eye coordination – a necessary skill with ever present screen technology.
- Number value – high scores!
- As well as tactics
All these things learned when they are younger and more engage with technology is one major reason they will beat you beat you easily at FIFA 2024 If not before! Sorry.
