Why this why now
Having previously developed sequences in block-based programming, pupils now extend their understanding of algorithms, sequence, and code blocks by working with Scratch. This unit introduces the Scratch interface and familiarises pupils with the attributes of the sprite and stage. This stage of learning prepares them for later programming units where they will improve program readability by using iteration and subroutines to replace long sequences of instructions.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Pupils should have some prior experience of programming.
- Pupils should be aware that instructions can be represented in code.
- Pupils should be aware that the sequence of commands can affect the outcome of the program.

Programming sequence using sound
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.
