Year 5

National Coding Week

This week is National Coding Week! We have been learning all about how to "debug" code. To help us understand, we made links to when our sentences don't make sense and what we have to do to edit them so they do. We used the playground feature on turtleacademy.com (a free-to-use coding website - add it to your bookmarks). We were given algorithms that had "bugs" in them along with a description of what the code should do. We had to work through the code checking each line looking for the "bug". We then had to work out how to change the code so it did what it was supposed to. This was very challenging, but with our perseverance and determination we were able to be successful.
