My name is Ray Chambers. I'm a specialist in computing and have a first class honours degree in computer science. I'm currently the lead teacher of computer science at Brooke Weston Academy in Corby Northamptonshire. I have been teaching for roughly 8 years and I thoroughly enjoy my job. In 2015 I was fortunate to win the Pearson National Teaching Award for innovative use of technology. I also won the BAFTA for mentoring young coders.

This lesson introduces Python to the students. Throughout the lesson students will be expected to learn about: -
*Sequencing
*Programming
*Saving
*Commenting
*Syntax errors

This lesson is about getting them to write their first program and it is also about introducing them to the shell, printing and understanding how to use Python. They're taught how to compile, debug and the importance of coding.

There are instructions for the teachers so that if they've never used Python before, they have some guidance in the PowerPoint notes.

Students are required to write a story and are taught basic techniques with the print. This could provide good cross-curricular links to an English lesson. They will work through their work with the guidance of a worksheet which asks them questions about whether they have understood the key points or not.
