Bonfire night Computing lesson using Scratch! Learners make a firework display! Year 4 - 6 KS2

In this lesson pupils use Scratch to make an on-screen exciting firework display!
I would recommend using an entire day for this lesson! 2-3 mornings or afternoons would also work.

This resource is ideal for teachers who are less confident using Scratch as lots of screen-shots and instructions are provided in the Powerpoint and planning.

This lesson is recommended to be used with pupils who have a basic understanding of Scratch already and is suitable to used from Year 4 - Year 6.
