How to use these resources
Each type of activity plays a crucial role in reinforcing understanding and retention of the keywords.
Whole Class Learning
Introduce each component and its function using the presentation provided. Encourage students to ask questions and relate the components to devices they use.
Show-and-Tell:
Use real-life components like a RAM card, hard drive, or a dismantled old computer or tablet. This hands-on view will help cement their understanding of where these components might be found and their physical appearance.
Matching Games: Students match component names with their functions and pictures displayed on the board. This can be done using sticky notes or digital drag-and-drop tools if using interactive whiteboard software.
Paired Work
Flashcard Creation:
Children create flashcards for each component to encourage discussion and deeper understanding.
Role-Play and guessing games: Pairs of students can choose a component and prepare a short role-play that explains their component’s function.
For example, one student could be the CPU and another could be the RAM, demonstrating how they interact within the device.
Quiz Each Other/20 Questions: Students can quiz each other trying to guess/find out the correct component.
Solo Recall
Labeling Exercise: All students try to label the parts using the keywords they have learned.
Crossword Puzzle: Create crosswords and the clues based on the functions of each component to help remember the terminology and functions.
Short Answer Quiz: Conduct a short quiz where students write the function of each component. This can help teachers assess individual understanding and retention of the keywords.
Make their own presentation about the 5 most important components in a digital device - ie - HDD, CPU, GPU, RAM and Sound Card.

ScratchJr - Student Project Planning Sheets
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.
