Space Race

 We have been learning how to use Scratch on our Chromebooks. We have started making a Space Race project. This might take us more than one lesson to do. 

Have you used Scratch before? Scratch is an online coding platform where you can create interactive stories, games and animations and share them across the world. We are creating a story about Space because we are studying Space this term.

Here is Zebedee's work from the first session...

Here is Eleanor's work from the first session...

    I enjoyed the part when you could make the Space characters talk at different times.
    Did you think about making More Space characters.
    Maybe you could talk with different voices.
    Do you like space? I'm excited to see the rest of your video.

    I enjoyed the part when the space dog met the alien and you said you wanted to play tag and I like how you put a space dog and an alien.
    The animation reminded me of when I was making a save the world animation in Google Slides.
    To improve you could make the next part when they played tag.
    What type of coding did you use?

    I like the way you became friends and played tag together.

    My name is Yumi and I am in Room 4 at St Mary’s School in Gisborne.

    I like how you did a lot of detail and so much creativity. I really like the dog's face! The interesting part was when they talked and how you did it animate.
    The part that when it said lets play tag! Is when I remember me and my brother playing with my other cousins!
    What do you like about space?!? It must be very fun playing c=scratch by animating!



    How did you do it on Scratch? Did you do the characters? The Characters are actually very creative and actually keep it up! What did you use to make the slide or the animated Scratch?
