Autumn Term 2025

Think < Digital Games>

Does you child love video games?

Let’s turn that passion into something creative, challenging, and genuinely educational!

In this term’s club, children go far beyond just playing games – they design, build and bring to life their own platform style video games.

For the Year 3/4 club, children will use one of our most popular game-making platforms - Bloxels EDU, coding each pixel block in the behaviour they choose.

For the Year 5/6 club, children will then progress to the more advanced blockly coded MakeCode Arcade.

Decomposing each aspect of game design – characters, layout, backgrounds, gameplay, and animations – children code each element, debugging and improving their creations as they go.

More than just being fun, this club builds essential skills for the digital age: computational thinking, problem solving, perseverance, creativity, and resilience.

And the learning doesn’t stop when our club ends! Children will also have their own logins to our Bloxels EDU platform so they continue exploring and creating at home throughout the Autumn term.
