Coding on iPads
This document provides information about a coding session for primary school students. It will introduce students to various coding apps like Scratch Jr, Bee-Bot and Hopscotch. The session is divided into levels for foundation stage, key stage 1 and key stage 2. It includes lesson plans, curriculum links and classroom activities for each app. The goal is to give students an understanding of coding concepts and how these apps can support teaching and learning across different key stages.

Kodable Kodable –Programming Curriculum for Elementary This award winning game and accompanying curriculum, is designed to teach the basics of computer coding to kids 5 and up.The furry aliens, known as Fuzzes were exploring space when their ship unexpectedly crashed on the maze-covered planet Smeeborg. The naturally curious fuzzes need kids to program them to explore all the colorful Technomazes on the planet’s surface. ----Coding basics for kids---- Kids learn the fundamentals of every modern programming language in a fun and inviting way. Kids Learn: Sequence/ Order of operations Algorithmic operations Conditional logic statements Problem solving skills Higher level thinking skills Collaboration skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills

KS1 Bee-Bots 1,2,3Activity: An introduction to programming with Bee-Bot Curriculum links Computing • understand what algorithms are; how they are implemented as programs on digital devices; and that programs execute by following precise and unambiguous instructions; • create simple programs Maths Geometry – position and direction: • Year 1: Pupils should be taught to: describe position, direction and movement, including whole, half, quarter and three-quarter turns • Year 2: Pupils should be taught to: use mathematical vocabulary to describe position, direction and movement, including movement in a straight line and distinguishing between rotation as a turn and in terms of right angles for quarter, half and three quarter turns (clockwise and anti-clockwise) Introduction Pupils create sequences of instructions (an algorithm) to draw the shape of numeral e.g. 3. An algorithm is a sequence of instructions, or a set of rules, for performing a specific task. Programming in this activity involves taking the algorithm and using it to program a Bee-Bot to navigate a route tracing out the shape of the numeral. You and your pupils develop an understanding of programming. Your pupils will: • work out the route to trace the shape of a numeral (e.g. 3): to do this they create an algorithm • use the algorithm to help them program the Bee-Bot • work as a team (collaborating) Format: iPad App

- 28. KS 2 Kids‘n’ code Interested in exploring basic concepts of programming with your students? Kids’n’Code is an app for iPads where students solve puzzles as they learn about coding. By identifying patterns and working their way through different problems, students will build a foundation for understanding how to code. This simple and straightforward app is designed specifically for elementary students and inspired by MIT’s Scratch programming language. Users move across the screen by providing a series of commands for their animated creature to follow. Kids’n’Code is easy to use and a great way to introduce youngsters to the basic concepts of programming. Format: iPad App

- 34. KS1 & 2Hopscotch: An introduction to programming with Hopscotch Goals of the Hopscotch Curriculum: - Equip students with a solid foundation in programming fundamentals. - Expose students to coding culture: iteration, pair programming, accepting feedback, sharing and attribution. - - Enable students to learn transferrable coding skills that prepare them for diving into another programming environment (like Java or Ruby.) - - Build self-confidence and comfort taking risks and making mistakes. By learning to program, your students’ creative, analytical, and abstract thinking skills will improve, and it will show in their performance in other disciplines. Coding is not just for future software engineers - —it’s something that anyone can and should explore! OVERVIEW 02 HELLO! This curriculum builds a foundation in the following Computational Thinking principles: - Decomposition: breaking a problem into smaller problems - - Generalization: seeing the bigger problem - Abstraction: understanding significant vs. insignificant details - Pattern Recognition: deciding which parts repeat - Algorithm Design: a process to solve a problem Format: iPad App
