Take all the work out of creating starters, or plenaries with these 24 anagrams of keywords. Simply copy and paste onto your lesson slide when you are covering that particular topic. An example is: Mittens fate - which of course is..................IF statement!

This resource explains the concept of debugging, and the types of errors that can occur. It has an accompanying worksheet and Scratch files to debug and write about. There are assessment questions at the end. This has been very engaging, and has been observed twice as an outstanding lesson.

Here are six starters, or plenaries for embedding computational thinking, searching and sorting algorithms. There is one for each lesson in a half term of work. They are printable. More suited to key stages 3 and 4. Good also for drumming in the key terms for revision as a whole lesson.

a key stage 3 or 4 resource for teaching environmental concerns.

This lesson, with learning objective and bronze, silver, gold outcomes introduces lists in Python. It uses ideas that they are familiar with, to teach the concept before the coding. Several examples are given, including populated lists, empty lists, and lists which can be appended with inputs. My learners were very engaged with the bronze silver and gold tasks, and all wanted to get researching to complete gold! None of the lesson expects prior Python knowledge other than opening it, and using print("this"). There is an extended learning task on the lesson too.

There are enough here to attach to a whole harm term of work (7 activities with solutions). The activities can either be used as a warm up starter, a recall to retain, or a plenary to check understanding. The activities are all different, and have things like spot the errors, true false, cloze sentences, amongst other things. Very engaging, and they bring real life situations to what can be quite a dry subject. I hope your learners are enthused with these activities as mine have been.

From absolute beginner. These could be used as solutions (given as problems to solve). Or used to copy code and annotate. Or even 'broken' and used as debugging tasks. The scripts all have a Christmas theme to keep learners engaged for the run up to Christmas. The skills / constructs included are: Using strings If, then else Tuples Import time Import webbrowser Maths Append to list Sub routines While loops For loops Sorting Concatenation Casting You will use this invaluable resource with different scenarios over and over again! Enjoy - and merry Christmas to you!

I have created this resource to take the child through adding a sprite, a stage, colour change, music loops, speech, and movement. The theme is crazy monsters, as they are in the disco, you will see the delight when they can have a highly interactive monster change colour and play music loops. There is very little text on the screen, designed for the very young, or those who have English as a second language. They just follow the circles on each slide to add to the coding. There are 36 slides, with a certificate for the basics, then extension work for faster learners. You won't be sorry you bought this idea and activity as you see their engagement and delight.

Part of the follow me range, designed for younger learners, non-readers, or EAL pupils. The learners are able to follow the circles on a slide show to code a lady dancing to a guitar. Skills built in this: adding stage adding and editing sprites changing costumes adding music changing beats to suit using a forever loop using delays There are two certificates to be gained in this very engaging lesson(s) This resource could be used by an independent learner, or by a teacher going through the slide in turn. It's real strength though is with non specialists, helping those who are unable, or unwilling to read. The lesson is very visual, and the audio also makes it engaging.

Year 8, ppt on Babbage and Lovelace, with LO and outcomes.

More than 70 pages of revision notes. The whole Edexcel course broken down in note form. There is a contents page for easy access too. Special offer for the exam this week!

These cover reading and writing to files. They have LOs, homework, and tasks set. There are two CSV files to be used in the lessons for reading and writing. Both lessons were graded outstanding with different staff members delivering them.

This includes learning objectives . Exercises to embed the learning. Uses real life scenarios to engage the learners and drive the message home, such as mention of Pokémon Go, and Candy Crush. Has an exam style question plenary.

Follows lessons on decomposition, and abstraction, this lesson shows how the decomposed, abstracted ideas fit back together with an algorithm. There is opportunity to practice creating algorithms in group work. Then at the end, learners are able to practice all three cornerstones of decomposing, abstracting, and creating a main and sub routines. Learning objectives, tasks, and home learning are all included.

Easy year 7 lesson where they wire up their headphones and program the Micro:bit to play Happy Birthday, or other nursery rhymes.

Another DOUBLE lesson for the Scratch DJ script. Complete with learning objectives, outcomes, plenary and homework. This presentation gives the codes and shows the learners how to make the disco lights flash. Then they can create a changing stage and create a story animation.

This is a PowerPoint (left without images) which takes the learner through what they need to know for the exam paper. The exam paper is made up entirely of questions from past papers, and only on topic 4.

This is a week's work, and cover all of the topics in Edexcel GCSE ICT. There are past papers, with mark scheme, results plus, and examiner reports, with just the questions on that particular topic. These are accompanied by a pre-test revision PowerPoint, and a whistle stop tour of the topics. Each one contains a link to a Kahoot to add some fun into the lessons. The topics are: Connectivity Digital Devices Issues Social networking Online services Operating online Everything you need for revision from now until the exam.

Learners find out how to abstract, write pseudocode, create a flowchart (algorithm) and then apply this to Python coding, using an IF, ELSE to create a quiz question. The idea is to teach the learners that solving a problem doesn't start with typing code into Python. It shows definitions and examples to introduce the concepts, and ends with a practical programming task.
