Inspiring Tomorrow's Innovators Today!October Half-Term Camp with Carlie Coding @William Patten!
Dear Parents, Carers and Guardians,
We’re thrilled to announce our upcoming October Half Term Camp, which will run from 28th October to 1st November at William Patten Primary School.
Early Bird registration is now open with special pricing starting at just £39 per day, but spots are limited—don’t miss out!
Our dynamic program for the October Half Term Camp is packed with exciting tech sessions, including coding and robotics. In the spirit of Halloween 
, we’ll be creating animations featuring cute little monsters 
and designing spooky game characters 
. Get ready to compete with eerie heroes in a race for the highest score!

During our tech hour, children will learn how to fly drones 
, and we’ll explore the real-world applications of this fascinating technology. Additionally, they’ll dive into a VR-compatible program, building their own 3D worlds, which they’ll later explore using VR headsets!

A TYPICAL DAY AT CAMP
Mornings:
- Drop-Off: Children are warmly welcomed and gathered for a morning meeting.
- Group Assignments: Children are directed to their pre-arranged groups, organized by age.
-
First Session: First Session: Age-appropriate coding with Scratch or Scratch Jr. Based on the day’s theme, we design a game or animation. We also introduce digital art by exploring various Scratch extensions, allowing children to slowly discover this medium while creating striking visual projects. In all our camps, children are divided into at least two groups based on their age, and they progress with a coding program and robotics tools tailored to their group.
- Second Session: We design and code a VR world, then experience it using our VR headsets.
- Third Session: Robotics and Drone Time!
Lunch Break: We enjoy our nut-free lunches, and if the weather allows, spend some time on the playground. Additionally, there are 15-minute breaks between each session, during which children can have their snacks or enjoy the fruits we provide.
Afternoons: We believe in balance and do not spend the entire day in front of screens. Our afternoons are mainly filled with screen-free activities.
- First Session: Typically led by a specialist teacher, we engage in sport, art, or DIY craft enrichment activities, which vary from camp to camp (e.g., Fencing, Capoeira, Dance, and Drama). A single enrichment activity will run throughout the week, and the specific activity will be detailed in each camp’s announcement. On Friday afternoons, it’s party time! Children enjoy a movie suitable for their age, along with some tasty treats.
- Second Session: After the first break, children engage in hands-on activities such as building with LEGO, 3D pen designs, jewelry making, drawing, or painting.
- Relaxing Time: During the final session, children complete their projects, games, or LEGO creations. We come together to reflect on the day, give out small daily rewards, and prepare for home time.
- Pick-Up.
Friday afternoons is party time! We’ll treat the children to a fun, age-appropriate animation, snacks, and a special closing celebration.
