Computing

We used the communication method called semaphore to pass messages to one another.

Autumn 1 - We are game developers

In this unit, you will plan your own simple computer game. You will design characters and backgrounds, and create a working prototype, which tyou will develop further based on feedback they receive.

Snatch The online version of the primary coding tool used in class.

Snap! An alternative to Snatch which runs on iPads

Kodu An alternative coding tool that runs on any Windows 10 laptop, PC or tablet

Lesson 1 - Lightbot An example of a simple game you could code.

Lesson 2 - Flicker A source for images

Lssson 2 - freesound A source for sounds

Lesson 3 - Example games coded using Scratch Fish

Tennis

Duck shoot

Autumn 2 - We are cryptographers

In this unit, you will learn more about communicating information securely through an introduction to cryptography (the science of keeping communication and information secret). You will investigate early methods of communicating over distances, learn about two early ciphers, and consider what makes a secure password.
