Hi Year 4, I've been playing on hour of code, this week. It's a website where you can learn how to code different events on the computer. It also works on phones and tablets, so you'll be fine whatever you've got. Today's game lets you code a dance party. With loads of songs to choose from, click on the link and work your way through the levels to create your own dance party. https://hourofcode.com/dance2019 Have fun! Mrs Fraser |
| MUSIC |
Have a go at playing this tune on the virtual piano! Can you work out what song it is? If you have a real piano/keyboard/glockenspiel at home, try to use that as well.
