This term, year 5 are learning about what portraits are and how they have changed over time. We were lucky enough to take a trip to the National Portrait Gallery, where students had to identify the main features of a portrait, identify how they have changed over time and illustrate which era was their favourite and why.
Brace yourselves, Richard Cobden Primary—Code Club is back, and this year, we’re bringing more programming puns than you can shake a Microbit at! A massive high-five goes out to our amazing Google London volunteers—Borja, Dima, Nicolas, Berkant, and Mihail—who’ve chosen our school for yet another year of coding fun. You could say they really clicked with us! And of course, a huge shoutout to our Year 5 and 6 students who’ve decided to byte into the world of coding every Tuesday afternoon. We’re sure that with some of the best programmers in the world as their guides, they’ll be debugging like pros in no time!
