The Scratch: The ideal place to begin programming! Key Stage 2
Programming Curriculum Guide Most primary teachers and pupils have
little - if any - experience programming. This book,
classroom-tested and perfected by the author through his website
code-it.co.uk, aids teachers in providing Key Stage 2 pupils with
an exciting and challenging computer science curriculum. Code It
can be used to supplement existing programming modules or as a
complete KS2 computer science program of study. It contains a
series of programming projects that gradually introduce pupils to
algorithm design and evaluation, generalisation and decomposition.
Pupils will learn how to use sequence, repetition, selection and
variables through becoming creators of a wide variety of
programming projects. Maths, literacy, humanities, gaming, music
and control skills are all put to the test. There are four pupil
workbooks to provide structure, resources and home learning links.
These are designed to work in conjunction with the teacher book. A
growing bank of online videos are also available, designed to help
teachers improve their own skills and take full advantage of the
cross-curricular benefits of developing depth in programming. The
Scratch programming language, already widely recognised in schools,
is freely accessible online or as a download at home. Scratch is
the ideal place to begin programming as there is no other system
that allows pupils to create such a wide variety of projects across
primary and secondary education. It also enables pupils to extend
their understanding independently through the Scratch online
community - the new computing curriculum is truly transformational!
