Block Coding
Building programs in Scratch and similar tools
Coding and computer science enrichment for primary pupils - block coding, logical thinking and simple projects, taught one-to-one at your child's pace.
Coding is not a standalone subject on the Primary School Curriculum, though many schools run coding clubs or use it within Maths and SESE. These sessions are enrichment for children who want to build things with a computer.
Work is mostly in block-based tools such as Scratch, where children build games, animations and simple apps. Blocks remove the typing and syntax barrier, so a child can concentrate on the part that actually transfers: breaking a problem into steps, spotting repetition, and working out why something does not behave as expected.
Debugging is the real curriculum. A child who can calmly find out why their program is wrong has learned something that applies well beyond programming, and it is exactly what Leaving Certificate Computer Science later assesses.
This is enrichment tutoring, not preparation for a State examination. Sessions are shaped around your child's curiosity and reading level rather than a syllabus.
