Code for Life
Key Stage One Blockly
This course, based on using the free programming website 'Rapid Router', teaches programming concepts from the basics using the Scratch-like 'Blockly' language. By programming a delivery van to follow simple routes, children learn about sequencing and basic algorithms. At the end of the Key Stage One course, children will create their own maps and environments for a friend, to program the van and deliver groceries.

Session Five: Create a More Complex Algorithm to Deliver One or More Packages on the Way
The 5th lesson in the Rapid Router series adds complexity to algorithms, raising the level of challenge and building on familiar contexts from earlier activities.
Also included are wall displays, teacher and peer assessment sheets, worksheets and model solutions.
Session Six: Delivering Several Packages in a Sensible Sequence
This extension activity, from the Rapid Router Key Stage 1 course using Blockly, adds further complexity and challenge to simple sequenced commands.
Paired programming and unplugged activities build understanding of algorithms, with consideration of complexity and efficiency.
Included are wall...
Session Seven: Introducing the Repeat Code
The 7th lesson in this Rapid Router course using Blockly brings repetition to algorithms. Children use repeat to make simple sequences of commands shorter and more efficient.
The resource includes worksheets and model answers, assessment sheets and wall displays.
Session Eight: Follow-On and Extension Work on Multiple Repeat Loops and Nested Repeats
Lesson 8 in a series of lessons using Rapid Router, the game-like environment for learning programming. This session takes loops and repetition further, and includes reusing statements and nested loops.
The resource includes wall displays, worksheets, model answers and assessment sheets.
