Really nice ideas Claire, full movement and visuals for the children to learn through.

We are here to help! If you make sure you are signed into Scratch, in the project editor in the top right hand corner there is a 'Share' button. If you click on this, you should be able to copy the URL of the project and paste it into a comment here. So anyone can click and see your work.

We are applauding your tea making here in the office Joseph. Sounds perfect!

Lauren Hyams replied to kirsty young
Sounds great and there's heaps of dramatic potential in Scratch - writing stories, animating scenes from plays could be a great way to combine your skills

That's brilliant that you already have a load of excited champions in your older pupils to kick off your Code Club
-
Sounds like a fantastic Club Matthew
-
That's lovely to start a Club in your old primary school, Caroline. Let us know how you get on

Everyone (young or old) loves a sticker : )

If you create that sort of resilience and commitment to learn in your Code Club Matthew, I am sure the young people will benefit so much
-
That's such a strong analogy Caroline between your piano playing and the support you can give to your Code Clubbers

Lauren Hyams replied to Igal Bronshtein
Hi Igal we do have a small number of Code Clubs that work well for children with Special Education Needs. The projects are designed to be used flexibly, so any teacher or club leader could adapt them to suit their group of students.
-
Lauren Hyams replied to John Charles Loos
Hi John we do not got a national partner in Norway at the moment, but we have 4 active clubs running across the country. We’d love for people to start individual Code Clubs in their local area, so good luck with your move and setting up a Club
-
Lauren Hyams replied to Michael Stamp
That's practically a Code Club just of your grandchildren Michael! I hope you all enjoy the projects together
-
Happy Thanksgiving Michael, and have a great discussion with library staff next week

Lauren Hyams replied to Robert Burton
Glad you enjoyed Sonic Pi Robert, and there are great Sonic Pi projects available if you want to share your joy of music and code with a Club https://codeclubprojects.org/en-GB/sonic-pi/
-
Your Code Club sounds great. The projects are designed for young people aged
9 - 13 but if an educator or Club Leader thinks they are suitable for their group of older or younger students that is fine with us. We know different students come to the projects with different prior experiences of programming. I hope your high school students enjoy the... -

Hi Mike, there is a whole section about Safeguarding including DBS checks further on in Week 1.

Hi Shirley, I think you might have to try and see if the adaptors work or not.
In our experience, sometimes they do and sometimes they don't! This thread might help you https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=14217 -

Lauren Hyams replied to Ivan Angell
Yes, you could do this activity with Bee Bots or getting the children to follow the maze before you challenge them with the Scratch project
-
You'll get the chance to understand the big words through real life examples and then apply that knowledge to build your programming skills throughout this course. No one panic, it's all scaffolded to support your learning : )

Lauren Hyams replied to David Webb
Hi David, great to have you join us. Let us know if the course does support your Beavers, Cubs and Scouts sessions.
