Programming sprites

Computing

Programming in a block-based environment

Sequences

Ordering commands

Combining code blocks in a sequence

Creating a project using a block-based environment

This unit explores the concept of sequencing in programming. Pupils will be introduced to a selection of motion, sound, and event blocks which they will use to create their own programs, featuring sequences. Pupils will make a representation of a piano where they will explore sequence through sound.
