The Code Lab Schools Coding Programme
For Pupils in 6th Class
This course is for 6th class pupils who have already completed The Code Lab’s Scratch programme. It builds on everything they know and moves them on to new Scratch features and coding ideas.
Pupils start with a quick recap, then use the Pen extension to code drawings and patterns, using maths to work out the angles. As the year goes on, they make their own custom blocks, write programs that ask questions and respond to the answers, store information in lists to build a quiz, and code a platform game with gravity and jumping. Later in the year, they take these skills into a new coding language and see how much of what they learned in Scratch carries over.
As with all our courses, each lesson is a step-by-step video presented by Pixel, played on the classroom screen while pupils code along on their own devices.
