Lesson 1: Introduction to scratch

In this lesson the children began by comparing Scratch to other programming environments they may have experienced, before familiarising themselves with the basic layout of the screen.

Our task this lesson was to:

Add at least two new sprites
Add at least two new backdrops
Add ‘move commands’ to each sprite

Lesson 2 - Programming sprites

In this lesson, the children created movement for more than one sprite. In doing this, they designed and implemented their code, and then created code to replicate a given outcome. Finally, they experimeted with new motion blocks.

Lesson 3 - Sequences

In this lesson, the children were introduced to the concept of sequences by joining blocks of code together. They also learned how event blocks can be used to start a project in a variety of different ways. In doing this, they applied the principles of design to plan and create a project.
