This Term we will take the opportunity to connect with the Digital Curriculum through being a Smart Learning on Scratch Jr. Students will connect math with story telling to create algorithms. It is a good idea to have these blocks printed out so that you can refer to them easily in class.

Students now have a range of building blocks for using Scratch Jr.
Their challenge is to use these in a transferable way in other subject areas. To take it further use a picture book and get students to create code to retell the story. A story that has more than one scene will support students to create using the tools from the previous session.
