Dear Parent/Carer

RE: Volunteer for after school 'Code Club'

Are you a programmer or web developer? Or do you know someone that is? We would like to start an after school Code Club at our school and are looking for one or more volunteers to help us run it. 

Code Club is a nationwide network of after school coding clubs for Years 5 and 6 (ages 8-11). They provide teaching materials to run the clubs so all we need is an expert to help us!

Initially the children use Scratch to make games and animations. Scratch is a visual programming environment that can be downloaded free from http://scratch.mit.edu. Afterwards they move on to building websites with HTML and CSS. 

The time commitment involved is just one hour a week during term time and you will always have a teacher in the room with you to help out. If you think you can help then please contact the school or find out more at http://www.codeclub.org.uk

Best Wishes

Headteacher
