In PE this week we will be exploring

This week in Computing we will be using all the skills we have learned over the last few weeks to create
our own computer games. The children will select their own objects and actions and program their games
using computer code. The children will then save their games to an online gallery where they can try out
each other’s creations and access their own apps from home. A letter will go out to parents and carers at
the end of the week with instructions detailing how to find their games online.
