Term 1 | Start using Scratch to code
Overview
This term, we'll introduce the Scratch platform and the coding basics to start building their skills.
Introduction to Scratch
The purpose of this activity is to introduce Scratch for the first time to your class and to introduce some key computing vocabulary.
Introduction to algorithms
Algorithms are a series of instructions, laid out in the right order, designed to complete a task or solve a problem.
Introduction to movement
Making your sprites move is a key part of most games and animations made using Scratch. Use this simple video to find out about different ways to control how your sprites move.
Introduction to Loops
Loops are used in most coding languages from simple ones like Scratch to more complex text based languages. Watch this video to learn the basics about loops.
Introduction to variables
Unravel the concept of variables in programming, highlighting how data values can change within a program. This lesson is a foundation for understanding dynamic data handling.
