This week we started our new topic – computing! We have started to explore the app Scratch Jnr on the iPads. We worked really well with our partner to change the sprite, change the background and then make the sprite move. We learnt that we needed both a start block and a stop block as well as a movement block. We also looked at how to change how much the sprite moves by adjusting the numbers on each block. We will continue to use the iPads and Scratch Jnr to develop the children’s computing skills across the term.
Help at home by looking at the Scratch Jnr on any devices you may have at home. There is also a new BBC programme all about coding and computing in the same style as Numberblocks called Wonderblocks.
