Exercise 1:

Create the Catwalk script shown in the screencast:

Test you program to make sure that it works properly

Exercise 2:

Written Exercise:

Download the written exercise and write the answers in a word document. Be sure to write your answers in full sentences

Extension Exercise 1:

Start a new Scratch program. Write a script to play a tune of your own devising. Make sure you include repeatblocks to save time, reduce the size of the script and reduce the chance of making errors.

Now add another sprite to your program (or change the costume of the cat to be something else). Make the sprite dance in time to your song.

Extension Exercise 2:

Continue to experiment with Scratch by using the looks blocks to change the way sprites appear whilst the program is running. For example:

The drop down menu in the block lets you select different effects. Try out different ones to see what happens!
