Year 5/6 Coding and Mind Lab Day

Introduction to Coding with Lightbot



Which habits of mind are we really learning about?

Work With Others because different people solve problems in different ways and you need to work together.
Persistence because when you get stuck, you need to keep trying.  
Make it Right because you need to check your code, especially if it's not working. 
Stop and Think because you need to make a plan for getting the code to do what you want.
