Think of what we teach them during the course as tools in a toolbox. They can now use these tools to build even more complicated and interesting things.

We hope that your child continues their learning journey with us! Here's the recommended follow-on course:

Today your child has learnt the following:

Introduction to Sound blocks in Scratchjr

Reviewed the  concept of Functions and Loops with Mousey

Apply their knowledge of broadcast and sounds to create a rocket launcher game and a simple animation

Today your child has learnt the following:

Introduction to Loops

Learn what are the loops and how it is used in everyday life activities

Understand how loops and functions works through various activies.

Apply their knowledge of loops and functions to program the robot

Describe what are loops and functions

In this course, children learn to explore the possibilities of code and robotics with Sammy the robot and a deeper dive into Scratchjr.

Each day's lesson structure is broken down and summarized into columns so parents have a better idea of what their children learnt on each day.

The "Taking it further" column provides parents with information on what their children can do with the knowledge and skills they have acquired at this camp.

SOUNDS

Sounds are integral to our lives and are also super important in animations and games. Students will learn how sound effects are made in animated films and try to incorporate sound effects in their projects!

Your child...

created a rocket launcher project

created an animation and used their creativity to add their own sound effects

LOOPS

Repeat loops are one of the most useful things in programming. Without loops, you will need to write each line of code out separately. Instead, a more effective way is to add a loop around the instructions that you want repeated for as many times as you like.

Your child...

Worked with friends to  construct Mousey and his cheese

Set up a zig-zag route for Mousey to explore

Used loops to create a more efficient code for Mousey

FUNCTIONS

A function is a set of instructions that you give a name. Functions are useful when a programmer need to repeat any section of code more than once, but they are really powerful when you use them several times in the same program.

Your child...

Programmed the robot to do specific actions using a function code card

Created a fortune teller origami

Below are some activities you can do to reinforce the concept of:

LOOPS:

1. Get your child to play an instrument or create a beat using their hands and repeat it.

2. Come up with an exercise routine and repeat it

3. Count how many times they brushed their teeth and get them to think about the steps involved in brushing their teeth.

4. Twirl around in a hula-hoop and get them to count how many times they can swing it around before it goes to the ground.

5. Think about what type of things we do in our everyday lives that repeats itself.

FUNCTIONS:

1. Create your own song and identify areas in the song which you can use functions.

2. Come up with an exercise workout routine.

3. Watch “All About Functions” by Kodable on YouTube.

4. Create an origami boat but use functions as instructions.

5. Come up with functions for a cooking recipe.
