Powerpoints and scratch files showing clearly how to code a zombie game in scratch. Two powerpoints showing how to first of all make a scratch game then how to add extras e.g. make it two player Links to the youtube videos which were adapted into teachable powerpoints. These lessons are very engaging for KS2, KS3/ KS4 and useful for game design. Students will learn: Use drawing tools Be able to identify and use: Events Loops Selection Variables Use problem solving skills to: Create code in Scratch to control sprites Develop code in Scratch – independently if possible

Social story for a child who has been scratching others. The point of a social story is to use a patient and reassuring tone to teach children about social situations in a way that can be easily understood. Social stories can be useful for any child who is struggling to understand a situation or concept or needs help to understand a social skill or social cue, expectations, perspectives, common responses or is troubled about an upcoming event but social stories are particularly useful for children on the autistic spectrum for whom social cues can be challenging and who often suffer anxiety if they do not know what to expect from a situation. These books should be used over and over to reinforce the point so I would suggest either putting the pages into a display book or laminating and binding them.

End of section test (I use with Y8 students) to assess their comprehension of coding using Scratch (I have uploaded my unit of work which goes with this. This is used a long with the assessment activity uploaded in the other unit of work, to check student progress. This is a problem solving assessment which tests students abilities to read and interpret code, as well as explain it. Checks their logical and computational thinking skills and ability to spot and correct errors.

This contains a starter where students are asked to ponder what makes an animated card interesting. The scripts are then given for learners to create a fully animated e-card. It includes moving snow, decorations that find their way to the tree, a star coming from the sky and landing on the tree. Baubles that flash, and a merry Christmas sign that lights up. Some features start automatically and others are interactive. This can be used from around age 7 right up to year 11! Everyone loves a Christmas theme! The lesson ends with a bronze, silver gold worksheet which allows differentiation from a cloze key word task, to considering real life uses, and ends with Blooms evaluative task for more able learners. There is also a homework / extended learning task available. Two learning walks have been rated outstanding with this lesson.

In this high-quality 6-lesson complete scheme of work, pupils will be introduced to the programming language “Scratch 2”. Moving sprites using the mouse and keyboard as well as moving automatically around the screen Repeat and forever loops If statements and If…else statements Use sensing tools so sprites can interact with each other Use questions and answers in programs Create and use variables to store and manipulate values during the running of programs Create their own sprites and backgrounds Use costumes Apply broadcast messages This unit is ideal if the pupils have never used Scratch before or have had only very limited experience. Suitable for KS3 Computing and ICT classes. FREE BONUS PRODUCT INCLUDED As a special thank you for purchasing this product I am pleased to be able to also include a surprise FREE bonus gift. This gift is one of my complete resources for which I usually charge full price but is yours absolutely free when you purchase this product. Just my little way of saying thank you to my valued customers. I hope you enjoy it and get use out of it, with my compliments.

Activity sheet for students to make a quiz in scratch aimed at year 7 or those new to Scratch.

An easy to follow assessment based around Scratch and key programming concepts. Q1 covers “sequencing”, Q2 covers “variables”, Q3 covers “sequencing”, Q4 covers “operators” and Q5 covers “iteration” and “debugging”. There is an easy to follow mark scheme and a revision powerpoint which could be set as homework, prior to the assessment. It is ideal for KS3, especially Year 7 or 8 and is really well differentiated, as there are easy questions and then increasingly trickier ones. It can be set as an end of unit assessment or as a baseline test to find out how much students already know about key programming terms, such as sequencing, variables, selection and iteration.

This activity pack contains five Christmas themed coding activities which can be used by students in KS2 and KS3. Students learn about sequence, selection and iteration, as well as how to use variables and arrays. All instructions on how to develop the code using Scratch 3.0 have been included, as well as several challenges for each activity. The pack is 35 pages and will take around 3 hours to complete all activities and challenges. Activity 1 - Decorating the living room ready for Christmas - Make the Christmas decorations sparkle! Activity 2 - Dancing Santa - Get Santa to dance - simple dances to choreographed dances. Activity 3 - Christmas Gift Game - Christmas presents float around the screen and if you can click on a present you get to see what’s inside! Activity 4 - Catch the Reindeer Game - In this game Santa has lost his reindeer (including Rudolph) and he has to catch them. At the same time he must avoid the dog pretending to be a reindeer. Activity 5 - Naughty or Nice - In this activity Santa must check the Nice list before he gives a present. The Python Programming Christmas Activities is designed for KS4.

Full lesson that was used for a Job interview. Fully resourced and lesson plan attached to support. The lesson is an introduction to Scratch that can be taught to year 7 students.

This end of unit test can be used to assess the pupils’ understanding of Scratch advanced features. This resource includes the test (part written test and part practical test) and the answers to assist with marking. This test takes most students 40 - 60 mins to complete.
