Introducing Scratch code blocks
This Computing scheme of work video introduces teachers to the different categories of blocks in Scratch. It helps teachers feel confident teaching how each type of block functions within a project and how combining blocks can build interactive and dynamic programs.
The video demonstrates motion blocks for moving sprites, looks blocks for changing appearance, sound blocks for effects and voices, events blocks to trigger actions, control blocks for timing and loops, sensing blocks for interaction and variables blocks for storing values. It provides practical strategies to support the children in experimenting, problem-solving and developing creative coding projects with confidence.
