@Faith_Year6 used Python instructions to create 2D shapes. We then introduced loops to simplify our code, which then allowed us to create patterns. @edu_blocks #faithcomputing @MGLWorldNews

Hey Allen! We are using @edu_blocks It allows teachers to create classroom and assignments. Children can login with their school MS or Google accounts & they can access Edublocks at home too. Their work is auto saved as they go. I use it with GCSE - there is python block coding too for those that need a bit more support.

So is it just me that didn't realise the @microbit_edu LEDs were adjustable per-pixel? 😲 Playing around with Python via @edu_blocks. Hadn't noticed this before 🤦‍♂️

Great way to end the half term with @Y6StocktonWood. The class were introduced to Python and loved experimenting drawing different shapes and making their code more efficient by adding loops! #stocktonwoodcomputing @edu_blocks
