Reception pupils had a blast exploring coding principles in their Digital Learning lessons! Using remote control cars, they learned about sequencing, directional control, and problem-solving - then put their skills to the test by designing tricky bridges to navigate. #FeltonfleetPrePrep #FeltonfleetDigitalLearning
