Y7 Computing: Python Unit & Assessment

**Take your Sunday evenings back. **

(OCR J277 GCSE / KS3 Computer Science)

This premium, fully resourced 6-lesson unit is designed to seamlessly transition Year 7 / 8 students from block-based programming (Scratch) to text-based coding in Python.

Built with non-specialist teachers in mind, this “zero-prep” bundle includes slide-by-slide teacher delivery scripts (crib sheets) that explain exactly what to say, what to ask, and what common student pitfalls to watch out for. The highly engaging, modern “3D Robot” visual theme reduces cognitive load and keeps students focused.

What is included in the bundle?
Organised into a chronological, easy-to-navigate folder structure, you receive everything needed to deliver a half-term of high-quality Computer Science:

Lesson 1: What is Python? (Moving from blocks to text, syntax rules, and the print() function).

Lesson 2: Drawing with Turtle (Importing libraries, algorithmic thinking, and basic geometry).

Lesson 3: Iteration (Using for loops and indentation to write efficient code).

Lesson 4: Variables (Creating named storage locations to dynamically change shapes).

Lesson 5: Assessment Day (A formal, exam-conditions written assessment covering all unit theory and coding logic).

Lesson 6: DIRT & Review (Directed Improvement and Reflection Time, featuring a fully color-coded feedback loop and extension challenge).

Premium Assets Provided:

Zero-Prep Teacher Crib Sheets: Slide-by-slide guidance for every single lesson.

Universal File Formats: All presentation decks and printable worksheets are provided in universal PDF format to guarantee the formatting never breaks on your school’s network.

Pre-Written .py Demo Files: Ready-to-run Python scripts for the teacher demonstrations—no live typing required.

**Assessment & Feedback Assets: **Includes printable student assessment papers, an official marking key, and ready-to-print yellow feedback cards.
