The cats in the hats

Today we shared our classroom with Room 26 and we got to have a look at Room 26's dress up clothes. Arya and Nyahrose went straight for the Cat in the Hat costume- they knew exactly who they wanted to be! Then we read the story again- it is becoming a favourite. It is great to see these girls are so familiar with a story character and remembered what he looked like!

Here are some other free websites/apps which teach coding: Daisy the dinosaur (app):  http://www.daisythedinosaur.com/ Hour of code (website):  https://hourofcode.com/nz/learn Scratch (website):  https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/editor/?tip_bar=getStarted
