In year 4, we have continued exploring Scratch and learning about variables. Children learned that variables can store lots of different answers and the programme will respond accordingly. We played some games where children had to ask their crew the name of an animal or food but had to erase the previous answer if it was different. This allowed children to see that the variables were limitless. Working as a crew, we built the code on our iPads as this was new learning for us. Once we’d built the code, we experimented with different questions and answers. In our next session we will build on today’s learning.
