This Computing scheme of work video helps Year 3 pupils explore Scratch, a creative platform for coding simple games, stories and animations. In this lesson, children build confidence by experimenting with the interface and discovering how code blocks work through hands-on tinkering.

The video guides pupils in using the Scratch interface, dragging and connecting coloured code blocks, personalising sprites, selecting letters from the sprite library and triggering actions with event blocks like when green flag clicked. Pupils are encouraged to test ideas, make mistakes and learn through trial and error.
