This Computing scheme of work video introduces teachers to the skills needed to support pupils in using Scratch blocks effectively. It helps teachers feel confident guiding the children as they explore different block categories, understand how they interact to create programs and experiment with movement, events, variables and sensing to build animations and games.

The video demonstrates each type of block, from motion and looks to control and operators, highlighting practical strategies for introducing key Scratch concepts progressively. It supports teachers in helping the children develop advanced coding skills while using blocks creatively and confidently.
