Basic Python poster cheat sheets. Designed for version 2.6 and 3.4. Also contains a Python data types poster. Python basics (2.6 and 3.4.2) Python advanced (2.6 and 3.4.2) Python data types

This pack contains 18 resources, with detailed and guided lessons to take children from beginner ScratchJr users to accomplished coders. Each resource guides students through that basic building blocks of ScratchJr and reinforces this learning with end of lesson assignments. The learning journey is fun, with lessons including animal races, trips into space and sports events.

Let your students become familiar with Scratch Programming before they even use the software. Students are given a maze with symbols on them. They have to choose the correct Scratch blocks to guide the cat sprite to the end of the maze. Each maze gets progressively harder.

Use this document to support the slimmed down national curriculum. Key subject specific skills, for example programming, multimedia and networking, mapped out for each year group for Years 1 to 6. Also available in editable word format email webb.gaz@gmail.com website: gwsupport.co.uk

A collection of worksheets and guidance sheets to compliment the Rising Stars Switched On Computing unit for year 4 'We are toy designers'. These can be used with or without the scheme and are based on use of Scratch. Objectives cover inputs and outputs, basic programming and reflection.

This resource is a brilliant way to get students to begin coding in Python! A set of 12 different Jumbled Code Python Task Cards which can be cut out, laminated and distributed to students. Instructions: Students need to look at the code and read the English statements (pseudo code) in order to put the jumbled python code in the correct order. These have been brilliant in my classroom and I have used them for starter and review activities. I have even used these as an introduction to coding in Python. These task cards also test students understanding of the following programming concepts: 1) syntax errors 2) logical errors 3) variables 4) print() function 5) input() function 6) int() function 6) if statements 7) while loops 8) lists 9) sorting & reverse sorting data in lists. Each task card also allows you to question students further on their knowledge of Python i.e: • “why was the data type string and not integer?” • “what is the difference between the input() and print() functions?” • “why did we need to use the int() function?E • Etc… Python software can be downloaded for free from: https://www.python.org/downloads/ There are also many online platforms in which Python can be used such as codeacademy.com

This Powerpoint contains all the elements to create a Scratch programming and/or animation display for both primary and secondary.

I've been using Kodu for a while now, and decided to pull everything I have together for this starter pack. Kodu is great for the new curriculum as it allows pupils to code and programme a game in real time, seeing how their programming affects the game instantly. In this pack I have included 2 units of work, a beginner and a more advanced level, as well as lots of bits to go with it. For anybody new to the programme, or to computing, this should be a great way to get going. Any questions about it tweet me @alwayscomputing

This activity helps towards of the coverage of the new computing national curriculum requirement of understand what algorithms are. An algorithm is a set of instructions. Help pupils learn about putting instructions into order using these cards. Ask the pupils to cut out each set and stick them in the correct order on paper or card. Cards 3 and 4 can have multiple answers and can form the basis for group discussion. A good activity to use before introducing the pupils to bee-bots.

A PowerPoint with step by step videos introducing a class (and teacher?) to the stages of making a very simple driving game. It was made to help teachers who are not confident about introducing SCRATCH coding to a class. Load and play a step at a time. It’s quite a big file so be patient. Also available, with planning etc from http:bit.ly/sjsresources

A lits of useful software for PCs and Macs - organised by type, platform, licensing and even alphabetically(!) Excel format
