6th Class have been learning Scratch since September. They explore Scratch every Friday using the school’s netbooks.

Scratch is a free application, developed by the MIT Media Lab, which allows users create and share their own interactive stories, animations and games. It is a form of computer programming but it easier to use than traditional computer programming languages as it consists of graphical blocks which snap together.

Scratch is used to support Literacy and Numeracy and can help children sharpen their logical thinking and problem-solving skills. To access the Scratch website click here
