Hidden letters activity for the IWB or class computer - Phonics Phase 2-5
Each slide has a letter/grapheme hidden behind four panels which dissolve when they are clicked on.
Can be displayed on IWB for group activity or Desktop/Laptop for more independent learning
The graphemes are in UK phonics phase order.
Phase 2 - s, a, t, p, i, n, m, d, g,o,c,k, ck,e,u,r, h, b, f, ff, l, ll, ss
Phase 3 - j, v, w, x, y, z, zz, qu, ch, sh ,th , ng, ai ee, oa, oo, ar, or, ur, ow, oi, er, igh, ear, air, ure
Phase 4 - st, nd, mp, nt, nk, ft, sk, lt, lp, lf, lk, pt, xt, tr, dr, gr, cr, br, fr, bl, fl, gl, pl, cl

Project-Based Learning: Assign projects that require students to design their own stories, advertisements or reports on current topics, promoting creativity and application of learned concepts.
School Routine Learning
Incorporate Scratch Jr. lessons into the regular school routine by dedicating specific times each week for coding activities. Begin with short, focused sessions that gradually increase in complexity. Integrate coding with other subjects, such as math and language arts, to provide a multidisciplinary approach to learning.
Peer-to-Peer Tutorials
Encourage peer-to-peer learning by having students who grasp the concepts quickly tutor their classmates. Create small groups where students can collaborate on projects and share their knowledge. This not only reinforces their own understanding but also fosters a collaborative learning environment.
Handouts
Provide students with these sheets as handouts that serve as quick reference guides and help students independently navigate through their projects. Students can confidently follow the step-by-step instructions which cater to various learning styles.
Student Innovation Opportunities
Promote innovation by allowing students to explore Scratch Jr. beyond the structured lessons. Encourage them to experiment with different commands and features to create unique projects. Provide opportunities for students to present their projects to the class, highlighting their creativity and problem-solving skills. Use these presentations as a platform for constructive feedback and further learning.
Exploration and Play
Emphasise the importance of play in learning by allowing students to freely explore Scratch Jr. Encourage them to try new things, make mistakes, and learn from them. Use play-based activities to teach coding concepts in a fun and engaging way.
By incorporating these strategies, you can introduce young children to the world of coding, fostering a love for technology and creativity in their early education.

Why is this place like it is? Who made it?
What is it’s purpose?
Who does it belong to?
Why are “you” here too?
Another good approach is to spend time as a class or in small groups sharing ideas, thinking of powerful vocabulary, phrases and even mapping out a mini story plan, before asking the students to start writing independently. Responding to your student’s ideas and scaffolding them in a group is a great way to help build confidence and foster a culture where all ideas are valuable.
These fantastically detailed images will help stimulate everyones imagination, setting the stage for more elaborate creative writing.
