Black Friday Offer
The stores are doing it, why not follow suit?
Pre-Christmas Offer
If staff join in, they get some CPD too!
Ideas include:
Coding some festive decorations.
In designing the decorations pupils will learn how to:
- give precise instructions to control a screen turtle
- create algorithms
- use sequence and repeat
- refine and improve their work as they progress
Designing Christmas gift paper
Design and program a simple game for others to play
In designing the game, pupils will have the opportunity to learn how to:
- drag and drop blocks of code to program simple games and animations
- use “if, then, else” logic
- change variables, add timers and keep score using procedures
For these activities, staff and pupils can access J2E/J2Code on my account until the end of term.
Alternatively Scratch, which is online and free, can be used.
Either of the above options mean that there's so no need to worry about having appropriate software for the task.
All we'll need is a laptop or tablet and access to the internet.
Alternatively, schools can use apps already installed on their school tablets.
Pupils will also have the opportunity to publish their work to a blog.
