A fun, engaging Scratch project that introduces pupils to game design and programming through creating their own retro-style Space Invaders game! This step-by-step teaching resource guides pupils through building a playable Space Invaders game using Scratch. Designed for primary school pupils and beginner coders, the project helps children develop essential programming skills while creating something exciting they can play and share. What Will Pupils Learn? Throughout the lessons, pupils will learn how to: Control sprites using keyboard inputs to move a spaceship left and right. Create a shooting mechanism that allows the spaceship to fire lasers. Use coordinates to position and move sprites around the screen. Program enemy movement to make aliens move across the screen and descend. Use loops and conditional statements to control how the game behaves. Detect collisions between sprites to trigger a Game Over event. Use broadcasts to communicate between sprites and control game events. Test and debug code to identify problems and improve their game. Why Is This a Great Teaching Resource? Space Invaders is an ideal project for introducing pupils to key programming concepts in a fun, practical way. Rather than simply copying code, pupils can see how different programming blocks work together to create a functioning game. The resource includes clear, illustrated, step-by-step worksheets, making it suitable for teachers with limited Scratch experience as well as more confident computing teachers. Pupils develop computational thinking, logical reasoning, problem-solving and creativity as they build their games. Suitable For KS2 Computing lessons Scratch beginners and developing coders

A fun and accessible 2-lesson introduction to algorithms for Year 3 pupils. This ready-to-use computing resource introduces children to the idea of an algorithm and helps them understand that an algorithm is simply a clear, ordered set of instructions used to complete a task or solve a problem. Across two engaging lessons, pupils learn how algorithms work through familiar, age-appropriate examples before developing their ability to follow, order and create their own sets of instructions. The activities help children understand: What an algorithm is Why instructions need to be clear and precise Why the order of instructions matters How to follow an algorithm step by step How to identify mistakes in a sequence of instructions How to create simple algorithms of their own Designed specifically for Year 3 / Key Stage 2, the lessons use straightforward language and practical activities, making them particularly suitable for non-specialist computing teachers. The resource supports the English National Curriculum for Computing, developing children’s understanding of algorithms and logical thinking. Perfect for: Year 3 computing lessons, ICT lessons, classroom activities, independent work, assessment and computing schemes of work.
