3. Y8!
We hope you are still using the micro:bit you got at the end of last year
Remember, the micro:bit website ( has loads of tutorials and resources for you to try!

4. Plea from the ICT department…
Do you have a micro:bit sitting at home unused?
The current Y7s are not going to be getting micro:bits from the BBC this year, and the ICT department would quite like to have some to use in Y7 ICT lessons.
If you still have your micro:bit from last year but don’t use it (and don’t know anyone else that would use it), then we would be welcome any donations!
Speak to your ICT teacher for more information.
