# Code Along Event

  ![Image of Code Along Event](https://files.schudio.com/alston-moor-federation-2/images/blog/code_along.PNG)  22 May 2024   [Bev Brown](https://alstonmoorfederation.org.uk/blog/author/bbrown)   [Cross Fell's Learning](https://alstonmoorfederation.org.uk/blog/category/cross-fell-s-learning)

Cross Fell joined Middle Fell today to take part in a code along event alongside a BBC Micro:bit live stream lesson. We learned how to code our Micro:bits so that we could classify, track and analyse living things in both the plant and animal kingdoms.

It was so wonderful for Cross Fell to have a little bit of an enhanced transition into Middle Fell working alongside the children that are going to be their new classmates in September. Working together, learning together and having fun! Thankyou to Mr Watters for organising such an exciting and engaging event helping to develop not only our computing skills but also our science skills too, we are so very grateful that we are able to get involved in such exciting events.
