The children have already been exploring the basic principles of coding by creating simple precise algorithms and debugging for programmable toys. The next stage is to begin to use age appropriate software to create precise instructions for visual working programs.
Children may work through the lessons available from Twinkl which focuses on using the freely available app, Scratch Jnr. Alternatively, the children can work through the interactive lessons from Code.org. If possible, create a pupil account using a parent or carers email account. This ensures that any progress is saved. |
