Children in year 5/6 have been learning how to use Scratch to create their own Times Tables Rock Stars game. Children have learned how to use repetition to simplify their algorithm and create variables such as timers or number generators.
Help at home: have a go at exploring scratch with your child. Are there any other games that you want to make? It might be a maze game or a playform game. Discuss the skills needed to code your own game.
