This Computing scheme of work video introduces Year 5 pupils to using sound blocks in Scratch to create their own musical compositions. It helps the children explore coding as a tool for artistic expression through hands-on experimentation.

The video guides pupils through choosing and customising sprites, adding and managing sounds from the library or recordings, using the play sound block, triggering sounds with events blocks and selecting backdrops to enhance their project. Pupils can layer multiple sounds, combine recordings with pre-set clips and build original compositions while developing creativity, rhythm and digital confidence.
