Key Stage 3 Computing has started this academic year with Year 7 students starting to investigate and use a variety of programming codes, ranging from Scratch to Python. They will be designing and creating their own game using Scratch. The game will have to have a theme about healthy eating and educating others all about being healthy. The games will also have to include a variety of scripts, sprites and variables. These games will be evaluated and assessed and I am looking forward to seeing their games with imaginative designs.
Year 8 students are building their knowledge about binary and are going to explore the world of programming by using python. This will develop their knowledge from year 7 and their ultimate goal will be to create a mini quiz using python.
Year 9 students are learning about advanced programming skills using python. Students have started to recall their previous learning from Year 8 with some of the basics but will move to discovering functions, loops and more advanced programming skills.
