Dear Parents and Carers,

Rodocodo 💻✨

Your child has been given their Rodocodo login, and we’d love for them to continue their learning at home! (Years 2 - 6)

Rodocodo is a fun, game-based way for children to learn coding. As they play, they begin to think like real coders - solving problems, building resilience, and developing important skills without even realising it.

By using Rodocodo at home, your child will:

  • Grow in confidence when tackling challenges

  • Improve their problem-solving skills

  • Become more independent learners

It’s a great way to support their learning in a fun and engaging way. Encourage your child to log in and explore - happy coding! 🚀

Little Wandle - Letters And Sounds.

The resources on this site will help you support your child with saying their sounds and writing their letters. There are also some useful videos so you can see how they are taught at school and feel confident about supporting their reading at home.
