Welcome to Barefoot, the home of fun, cross curricular primary and Early Years learning based on Computational Thinking!

Early Years resources Early Years classroom poster Book a Workshop

It's time for our Early Years teachers to get in on the action!

We’ve created a range of enjoyable, free resources and activities based around computational thinking concepts and approaches. These help you to teach your pupils the necessary problem-solving skills needed for everyday life. The resources are collaborative, and they offer options for use both in the classroom and at home. They are cross-curricular, so you can slot them into your teaching where you see fit, in order to boost engagement or inject a little bit of something different into the classroom!
