Computing, The Penpol Times, Year 5, Year 6

This week students in Key Stage 2 have been using some clever code to create their own interactive Red Noses! Using a special version of Scratch, pupils have been exploring Machine Learning and how computer code can recognise different things, such as your nose. Using this code they’ve then let their creativity run wild by creating games, animations, secret messages, art programs and more using their own Red Nose.

Take a look at this short video and you’ll see just how creative the students at Penpol School are!
