An Hour of Code Competition

Primary 4/5 made a trip to Broughton High School to participate in a competition called An Hour of Code.  The pupils worked with Mr Steven Clarke and Mr Paul Wilson (Parents of pupils at the school) both of whom work in the world of programming, to produce a small programme that controlled a 2D animation. This was achieved within the hour and without any prior pupil knowledge! A great achievement for all concerned.  As a result of this success the school has been awarded five Google Pi computers.  These will be used to continue our programming work in Golden time on a Friday.

Chess Club
Our chess players once again achieved success at the Lothian Schools Chess League. The tournament took place on Sunday.  Congratulations to Philip, Wojciech, Khaliq, Kasey and Florence who formed a team in the P5 & Under B League and Won!
Benedict played in a composite team that came second in the P6/7 League.
Congratulations to them all!
