 Here children are exploring algorithms and programming in Scratch. They created backdrops and programmed a journey for their rockets, space travel in the classroom! 

Look at these stunning photos captured on our school grounds. Children turned their hands to editing and created these beautiful shots - and many more to go in their class portfolio. 

Who knew we had such budding toy designers at Wheatfield? In this unit children looked at toy programming (including inputs and outputs), and presented their designs to the class - Dragon's Den style!

Can you decipher the codes used in this cryptography unit exploring Morse Code and Caesar Ciphers? Hint: There are two jokes on the page - you can see the answers - but what is the set up?

Here children are using Inkspace to help them create digital geometric tessellations. In this unit we also look at the history of tessellations and their importance in Islamic cultures.
