This week, you are going to practise your coding skills using an app called ScratchJr. This app is only available for iPad. If you do not have an iPad at home, you can visit the websites below to practise coding. Watch the teacher video to find out how to use ScratchJr!

Click on the picture below for a link to the app store, or you can just type in Scratch Jr into the app store on your iPad.

Collage is a simple craft activity that involves pasting items like paper, leaves or photographs onto a sheet of paper. IT is a fun way to encourage awareness of how colours and textures can work together to create an artwork.

There are people we can trust, and others we can’t. Our feelings can help us decide whether someone is trustworthy by sending our body clues that we don’t feel right about something. It’s important to always listen to what these feelings are telling you.

Watch Lesson 4 of Hector’s World ‘The info gang’, where Tama uncovers the info gang’s evil plans to sell her friends' personal information. While you are watching, pay attention to what Tama does when she senses a situation is unsafe.

This science experiment is sure to be lots of fun! Read the Volcano Experiment instructions to find out how to make your very own volcano with lava.

Coding involves giving instructions to a computer to perform a specific task. You may have also heard of coding as ‘computer programming’. Learning to code is a great way to develop problem solving and critical thinking skills.

Coding for kids begins with drag-and-drop movements, and connecting blocks to give a computer instructions. Visit this website and start at Lesson 1 to practise coding skills. Learn to drag and drop, and sequence movements to make the characters move!
