A unit of work that introduces the basics of Scratch and teaches children to code a simple animated fish tank. Covers a wide array of computer science and digital literacy areas of the KS1 and KS2 curriculum so is suitable for years 2-4, possibly even 5 or 6 if more focus is paid to variables and use of other software and technology to contribute to the final program.
Teaches navigation of Scratch software, adding and editing backgrounds and sprites. Coding selection and conditionals using ‘When’ event blocks and motion and looks blocks to simulate animations. Developed over five weeks; the chn build their program each week and have time planned in lessons for testing and debugging.
Includes 32 Scratch files: modelling examples for teachers to use to exemplify learning and code and differentiated examples for less able students to add to and complete.
Objectives covered includes:
LO: To know how to use a repeat.
LO: To know how to build an algorithm to simulate movement.
LO: To know how to build an algorithm to add animation.
LO: To know how to use a conditional.
