Children used the ipad cameras and took their own photos for their program background.  Then, using the paint tools within OctoStudio, they designed and created their very own custom sprites. The next step was to bring those sprites to life with code. Using event blocks, pupils programmed their sprites to respond when touched. Some made their characters jump, others grow, glow, speak or even play sounds! Many pupils went further by combining multiple blocks to create more complex algorithms. 

Year 6 had produced a fantastic variety of interactive mini-projects, each showing their growing understanding of coding, sequencing and events.
