We have just finished a summer holiday series of coding workshops for young children that were all held in one of the local bookshops in Salisbury. It was great seeing parents working alongside their kids, building games together and sneaking in plenty of learning along the way.
I haven’t run summer workshops for a while because juggling other family’s schedules has been tricky in previous years as some could make one week but not others – that sort of thing. This year, however, I had a brilliant work experience student join me and so we put together a scheme of work, giving my student hands-on experience with everything from lesson planning and prep to actual delivery. Watching him confidently take the lead and deliver the final workshop was the real highlight for me. He was actually one of my GCSE Computer science students who took his exam in Year 10 and will pick up his result on Thursday. Good Luck to everyone collecting their results this week!
