Today, the children in Year 2 were developing their understanding of the Scratch Jr. computer programme. Firstly, Isa helped Mr Hollows explain how the Earth rotates and orbits the sun. After that, there was a detailed discussion about how the programme's tools could be used to replicate this. The children worked with great focus and determination and managed to debug any issues to produce some excellent animations!
