Remembrance Day – Procedures
Predict This code is split into two sections. The main program is on the left and a procedure on the right.The sprite costumes are on the right of the screen. Think carefully about each part of the program and what Read More …
1. Art Sequence
On this page we start to explore an algorithm that can be used to draw lines and coloured squares in the style of Mondrian. Sequences need order and have to be precise to achieve the required outcome. Predict The code Read More …
2. Art – Count Controlled Loop
Loops controlled by a counter perform for a set number of times before allowing the program to continue or end. The number of repeats is usually linked to what you are trying to achieve – e.g. the number of lines Read More …
3. Art – Nested Loops
A nested loop is one which has been placed inside another main loop. Each time the nested loop has finished, further code instructions are normally performed before starting the main loop again.In this way, complex operations can be performed with Read More …
Nested Loops – Count Controlled Loops
This Scratch project draws different shapes. The code for each is below, but which code draws which patte Predict Look at the code in the images below. What will each one do? Run the code by clicking on the dots Read More …
Understanding Loops – Spot the difference.
This Scratch project below has 3 animals which have been programmed so that, when you click on them, they run one of the sets of code blocks. They show examples of count-controlled, condition-controlled and infinite loops. But which is which? Read More …

Variables as Strings with Join
This is all about putting things together. Placing characters or strings together is called “concatenation”, but in Scratch we just use the Join block. Look carefully at the order in which thinks are joined.
