This term in DT, we will be exploring the world of CAD (computer-aided designs). Children will explore the use of Micro:bit in our everyday lives, programme compass points on a Micro:bit, and programme a 3D model using software. Finally, they will create a pitch for their design.

In Computing, we will use the Purple Mash to create quizzes. Children will learn the basic principles of creating a quiz. Children will programme a quiz using a variety of questions. They will explore the use of timers and adding scores to their quizzes.
