Objective› Be able to create and understand simple

programs

Level 3 Level 4 Level 5

Create a simple program (script)

Predict the actions of a simple program (script)

Explain the stages of a simple program (script)

Scratch

A Scratch program contains sprites that ‘perform’ on a stage. Sprites and the stage have three properties or settings

Scripts

These are the instructions that control a sprite

Scripts are made from blocks

To add an action you click on the object (sprite or background) and build the scripts up like Lego
