What Your Child Will Be Learning This Term...

Astrocode is a fun entry-level module where children learn the fundamental skills of coding through space themed activities.  It’s a popular module for children who are generally interested in science.  We have a Key Stage 1 and a Key Stage 2 version of the module which allows siblings in different clubs to share their newly discovered knowledge about space.  

 

All of the lessons in this module are game-based discrete lessons: the children complete a series of challenges which build in difficulty and touch on all of the basic coding skills in each lesson.  In the KS1 version of the subject, almost all of the coding is done using visual blocks without any words which is particularly important at this point in the school year.
