Ghost Hunt with the micro:bit – Tuesday 27th October 2026

It's Halloween and our classroom has become a hideout for ghosts! So, this half-term, we're going on a ghost hunt armed with micro:bits. micro:bit is a pocket-size codeable device that can be used to teach computing in a fun way. Why not come and join us for some spooky coding fun?
