This half term in computing, Year 6 are using a program called Tinkercad to make 3D models. They are learning all the basics of how to move and manipulate 3D shapes to create a variety of different things. In today's lesson, Tuesday 21st April, they were all able to make their own very impressive model houses! We are really impressed with how quickly the Year 6 class has been able to pick up these skills which will be so helpful to them in an increasingly digital world. #growingandlearningtogether #stjohnswey
