Year 6 had an exciting day of coding as they put their programming skills to the test! Using Scratch, pupils worked collaboratively to create a range of codes that helped them build a game inspired by their previous term’s topic, the Ancient Maya.
Throughout the day, they explored different coding techniques, including:
🟠Movement and Controls – Using event blocks and conditional statements to make characters move in response to player input.
🟢 Interactions and Consequences – Coding logic to trigger events when a player reaches a certain goal or makes a mistake.
🟣 Animations and Sounds – Bringing their games to life with sprite changes, background music, and sound effects.
After successfully creating their Maya-themed games, the pupils were set a new challenge: designing their own Scratch game based on their current topic – Crime and Punishment. They began brainstorming ideas, from medieval justice trials to detective-style mystery games.
A fantastic day of learning, problem-solving, and digital creativity—well done, Year 6!
