This video introduces teachers to the skills needed to help pupils understand and use Scratch blocks effectively. It explores the functions of different block categories, how they interact to create programs, and how pupils can experiment with movement, events, variables, and sensing to build animations and games.

The video demonstrates each type of block, from motion and looks to control and operators, highlighting how they enable pupils to develop more advanced coding skills. Teachers will see how to introduce key Scratch concepts progressively, ensuring pupils gain a clear understanding of how coding elements work together.

This video is part of Kapow Primary’s Computing – Coding Skills resources. It simplifies the process, ensuring teachers feel confident and prepared to support pupils in using Scratch blocks creatively and effectively.
