Year 6 Computing Day

Today, Year 6 had a fantastic day completing lots of computing activities. They designed their own 3D models, used HTML and programmed Micro:Bits. We were very impressed with their computing skills and excellent designs. A big thank you to Amazing ICT for running a super day for the children!
