Computing Resources 

Pupils are encouraged to access these online resources to support their remote learning. 

These resources will support pupils computational thinking (thinking more logically, following order and rules in a process, and understanding this is how computers work) 

​

• Scratch cloud (Online Scratch to support programming) 

https://scratch.mit.edu/  

Type Scratch in google and select the first link. 

Pupils can create simple programs using either a new program or using existing programs. 

Pupils can access videos tutorials with step-by-step guidance for them to follow.
