What's Your Child Learning This Term...
Each half term the children in our amazing coding clubs will study a new module where they will be able to showcase and improve on their skills!
We publish our curriculum below so that you can see exactly what your child is learning and why. You can even use the links to play along with your child at home after each session. Please don't jump ahead of us though as we don't want the children to repeat content.
AUTUMN TERM 2026
KS1 - Astrocode
Lesson 1: Our Neighbouring Planets
Children will learn about the planets in our solar system before developing their coding skills through a series of space-themed programming challenges. They will use sequences, loops and conditionals to create algorithms and guide a robot through different missions.
Lesson 2: Aliens
Children will explore the topic of aliens before applying their coding knowledge to programme an alien's journey home. They will practise sequencing, debugging and logical thinking while solving increasingly challenging coding tasks.
Lesson 3: Rockets
Children will learn how rockets travel through space before creating code to control a rocket's movements. They will strengthen their understanding of algorithms, sequencing and problem-solving through a variety of coding activities.
Lessons 4: Galaxies
Children will learn about galaxies and our place in the universe before using code to complete a series of interactive missions. They will develop their confidence with sequencing, loops and computational thinking while programming a robot to solve challenges.
Lessons 5: Satellites
Children will learn about satellites and their purpose before consolidating the coding concepts covered throughout the module. They will apply their knowledge of algorithms, loops and debugging to complete a range of coding challenges and improve their problem-solving skills.
Lessons 6: Astronauts
Children will learn about the role of astronauts before programming AstroRobots to complete increasingly challenging coding tasks. They will continue developing their understanding of sequences, loops, debugging and computational thinking while creating efficient code.
KS2 - Astrocode
This half term, KS2 pupils will explore our exciting new Astrocode module! Children will continue learning the fundamentals of coding in a space-themed environment, completing exciting missions involving stars and rockets while using key coding concepts such as loops, events and conditionals across a range of interactive coding websites.
Lesson 1: Our Neighbouring Planets
Children will learn about the planets within our solar system before designing and programming an interactive space mission patch. They will develop their understanding of event-driven programming, animations and object interactions while creating an engaging coding project.
Lesson 2: Aliens
Children will explore the possibility of extraterrestrial life before creating an interactive dance project using block-based programming. They will apply sequencing, events and conditional logic to control characters, synchronise animations and customise their projects.
Lesson 3: Rockets
Children will learn about rockets and space exploration before designing and programming their own Space Invaders-style game. They will develop their understanding of algorithms, variables, events and game mechanics, while testing, refining and debugging their code throughout the lesson.
Lessons 4: Galaxies
Children will explore the structure of galaxies before investigating how events are used to create interactive coding projects. They will programme responsive characters and develop their understanding of user inputs, event handling and computational thinking.
Lessons 5: Satellites
Children will learn about the role of satellites before being introduced to text-based programming using Python. They will write, interpret and debug simple scripts, gaining an understanding of programming syntax and how text-based code differs from block coding.
Lessons 6: Astronauts
Children will learn about the role of astronauts before programming a lunar rover to complete a series of increasingly complex missions. They will apply sequencing, algorithms, debugging and problem-solving to create efficient and effective coding solutions.
Podcast Club Year 4-6
Our exciting new Podcast Club gives children the chance to become real creators as they learn how to plan, script, record and edit their very own podcasts. Throughout the term, pupils will explore fun skills such as researching topics, writing engaging scripts, creating intros and outros, interviewing, debating, storytelling and adding sound effects. They’ll also learn how to improve their recordings through listening, evaluating and simple editing techniques.By the end of the programme, every child will have produced their own polished podcast projects while building confidence, creativity and excellent communication skills.
NumberFun Year 1&2
Our Number Fun Club makes learning fun, engaging, and confidence-boosting. Pupils develop their arithmetic skills through hands-on activities with an abacus number square, counters and fraction walls. The club supports core maths topics while helping children build confidence, logical thinking, and a positive attitude towards maths.
Creative Me Club - Reception and Year 1&2
Creative Me Craft Club is a hands-on crafting session designed for Reception children. Pupils enjoy fun activities such as cutting, sticking, folding, and decorating while creating their own crafts to take home. The club supports fine motor skills, creativity, and confidence in a relaxed and playful environment.
Public Speaking & Debating Year 3-6
Debating Club helps pupils build confidence in speaking, listening, and expressing their ideas. Children learn how to form opinions, give reasons, and respectfully challenge different viewpoints through fun debates, discussions, and team activities. The club encourages critical thinking, teamwork, and strong communication skills in a supportive environment.
