• 50 pages - 10 differentiated project ideas - plus blank sheets for your own projects.
  These differentiated project planning sheets, offer 2, 3 and 4 scene boxes plus many topic ideas and all the ScratchJr blocks to plan with. Prepared on A4 sheets to give students a organised space to plan their own Scratch Jr projects on paper before building them with the device.

Planning and explaining the code, before building, is a great process for developing fluency and confidence with Scratch Jr, and programming in general. Equally, once students have built something they are proud of, recording the process to teach peers is a great review of their learning. This reflective process can really open up quality discussions and opportunities for children to explain their thinking and record their learning.

ScratchJr serves as a beginner’s coding language, empowering children between the ages of 5 and 7 to craft their own captivating stories and animations. By simply connecting graphical programming blocks, kids can bring characters to life, making them move, speak, dance, and interact. With the paint editor, children can customize characters, incorporating their unique voices, sounds, and even personal photos. The programming blocks serve as the magic wand, enabling children to animate their characters and unleash their imagination.

ScratchJr is available free from the Apple and Android stores,plus on desktops using the GitHub site.
Great starter projects can be found by searching for ScrathJr’s own site too, to help students learn what the blocks can do.
