READ AND PROGRAM ALONG WITH US.
The Button Friends is a series of children's adventure stories. The books feature the adventures of a group of young Button Friends – Bobbi, Daisy and Ben. These friends go on a surfing trip to Wales, in a campervan to Scotland, picking blackberries in Ireland, to an animal sanctuary in Tasmania and other exciting places.

If this sounds familiar, give this book a try as it is all about helping primary school teachers to grow their confidence to teach programming.
Read MoreThe idea for the Button Friends emerged during COVID-19 lockdown. We had just discovered p5.js and were all having lots of fun coding different designs. These designs have grown into the Button Friends. So much, we wanted to share this fun experience and inspire others into coding. We hope you enjoy this as much as we do.

The P5.js programme is at first glance quite difficult to use but, over time and with supportive materials I can see both teachers and pupils developing their confidence and skills in aesthetic coding.
We were delighted to see the spark that the coding activities generated in many of our pupils and have no doubt this initial activity will provide the start of a life long interest for some of our pupils.
My pupils enjoyed exploring the programme and using the different codes on the ‘cheat sheet’ to create different patterns.
We had great fun working out what the characters would look like, what their names would be and what personalities they would have.
