New unit! – Starting from Scratch

We have added another brand new unit of work to our collection, to further improve the way coding is taught at the beginning of Key Stage 2. We’d recommend this unit for Year 3 students.

Starting from Scratch adopts the PRIMM method of teaching computer science. Research suggests that this method lays strong foundations in students when learning the basics of coding, but is a great method at any stage of their learning. PRIMM stands for:

• Predict
• Run
• Investigate
• Modify
• Make

Students develop their understanding by spending more time reading and understanding existing code before starting to modify given examples and then finally plan and code their own animation project.

You can find all our units of work in our A-Z collection and all Key Stage 2 units of work HERE.
