What is Scratch?
Scratch is a programming language and online community where you can create your own interactive stories, games and animations. Coding in Scratch is really easy, you don't have to be a super geek! To create programs, you snap together graphical blocks, much like LEGO bricks or jigsaw pieces. Check out the video to the right to see what you can do in Scratch > Scratch at Gryffe
Scratch teaches pupils a variety of important skills such logical thinking & problem solving, that pupils not only find useful in ABC but in other subjects throughout the school including Maths & Science. Plus, it's really fun!! That's why during the 2015/16 sessions, the ABC department want to build up this section of our website as a showcase for the talents of the next Shigeru Miyamoto (created Mario) or Hironobu Sakaguchi (created Final Fantasy) so keep checking back for regular updates. |
