Code for Life
Key Stage Two Blockly
Building on the Key Stage 1 Blockly activity, this course introduces children to repeat loops, 'if' statements, and variables.
The activities focus on driving a delivery van around increasingly complex routes involving twists, turns and traffic lights. At the end of Lower Key Stage 2, the children can demonstrate their programming skills by creating a routing challenge for friends.
Children get the opportunity to design their own background and characters, and set up variables such as traffic lights to increase the level of complexity

Session Five: Extension Group Activity
This extension activity features in the upper-primary Blockly course, by the Rapid Router team at Code for Life. It explores the limits of generalised solutions, introducing children to the idea of algorithm testing and debugging. Children are asked to apply logical thinking to different problems, and analyse what...
Session Six:Traffic Lights
This activity, one in a series, uses traffic lights and control of vehicles to explore if-else, if, and wait commands, and to learn about variables.
A set of onscreen programming challenges are supported with teacher guides, worksheets, model solutions, assessment activities, wall displays and overview...
Session Seven: Applying their Programming Knowledge to Create a Game Challenge
In this activity, involving on-screen programming using Rapid Router, children will develop their understanding of programming principles by learning how to use repeat loops, if statements and respond to changes in variables in a visual programming language.
The activities focus on driving a delivery van...
Session Eight: Applying their Programming Knowledge to Play and Evaluate a Game Challenge
In this activity, children work in pairs to learn and set each other challenges using the Rapid Router software.
The challenges include the use of Loop, If and Repeat Until commands, asking children to consider how they can automate a process and create efficient code. The activities focus on driving a...
