Creating Animations

Primary 4 have been learning how to create basic animations by following tutorials on Scratch.

They are using programming blocks to make objects move, make sounds or change how they look.

The children were asked to try and create a short animation using the letters from their first name.  Here is an example made by Zara from Primary 4 – click on the link to view – https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/96875795/

Enjoy!

 

 

Creating an interactive game on Scratch

Our Primary 7 children worked with a partner to create an interactive game on Scratch for one of the classes in the school.  They had to decide which stage the game was for, for example, Primary 2 or 3, and then decide whether it was an addition, subtraction or multiplication game.

They have been learning about variables (things that can change) and operators (for example, adding, multiplying or dividing).

We looked at some examples on scratch and tried to create our own version.

Here is an example of an addition game created by Liah and Anna from Primary 7 for Primary 2 to play– click on the link to play – https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/96875365/

Good luck!
