Rainforest Coding

Rachel, Lead Teacher for Computing: I enjoyed Crystal Rainforest when we had that and this is based on it. There are graded activities for each year group, with feedback for teachers. It is very reasonably priced too!!! Thank you.
Stephanie Hamilton, Computer Teacher: It is a great program. I would like to see the younger version extended so I can use it longer with my younger students.
Ann, Digital skills teacher: Pupils love using it, easy to use teaches basics simply and well
