Okay, its time to get get serious, this week we need to talk about deadlines... How long do we have left to complete this DLT? How many hours does that leave us? How is your board game looking? Will you get it done in this time?

The focus below of 'Self Manage' is a great one for you to try and develop your scratch skills independently and to get those projects all finished!

We have also developed a 'problem solving' system if you get stuck (look at the success criteria).

Set your goals as normal on the goal setting padlet for Week 4.

Week Three Featuring Mrs Roberts!

Week 3 - Prizes and Monsters!


Hi Scratchers,

Sorry I can't be there today (for real this time)... But you are going to be working with wonderful Mrs Roberts!

So, last week you hopefully have created your background and got your sprites moving. This week we are building on those skills to get our board game created!

Just keep this in mind as this is what we are working towards:


WALT – Relate To Others 

Success criteria
·       Share ideas/ knowledge
·       Find out the people that can help us (experts) and the people that need help

Display the 3 x KCs posters that we have been using.


WALT – continue to build our board games

Success criteria
·       set up sensors for sides and objects
·       add prizes
·    do you need to add a monster?
·    add a soundtrack (bonus for those who finish early)


Introduction -

Think about how could we improve on our goal setting and reflections. Want some inspiration? Have a look at Steven and Stephen goal and reflection from last week (100 house points each boys). This week can we include examples? Are we explaining our thinking?

Today we are going to get going asap - we don't have much time and we need to
set up some of our prizes and maybe add our first monster!

Add your goals for this week to the Week 3 Goal Setting Padlet below! Get to work and remember your goals!



Task 1 - 

Finish off your sensors and backgrounds from last week.


Task 2 - 

- What will we want to happen when we get the prize?
- How many prizes will we want?

After you have asked yourself these questions have a play on Scratch to create some prizes. If you are having trouble, who in the class could you ask? That is NOT the teacher!


Task 3 - 

Want to add a monster think about these things:

- How will we want our monster to act?

- How many monsters will we have?

Now give it a go... Don't know how? How could you get help? You are not allowed to just ask the teacher!

Bonus Task 

If you have finished the tasks above think about adding music or sounds.




Task 4 Reflection Time!

Week 2 - Starring Mr Panther

Hi team,

Sorry I can't be there today... But I have left you in the very capable hands of Mr Panther!

So last week you had a little 'play' on Scratch and hopefully you have got some great ideas, about how we can use this programme to complete our Collaboration DLT and create an amazing board game. Which show the tikanga and protocols that are important when visiting a marae. Need an expert on this... Mayson, Mr Panther and some other children went yesterday, pick their brains (but not really as that could get messy)!

Right enough teacher droning lets get into it:


WALT – set backgrounds and use the sensor feature

Success criteria

  • create your background
  • be able to navigate sprite
  • set up sensors for sides and objects

Introduction (10mins) - 

Our Key competency is 'Self Manage'. 
Our Scratch goal is to create our backgrounds and add sensors. 

Now jump on the goal setting and reflection Padlet (below) and set your goal for 
the session! Can you relate it to our success criteria or KC? 
Last week Leo, Harry and Henry had top notch goals and reflections (100 house points each), have a look at theirs if you need inspiration.



Task 1 (13mins)- 
Watch this Scratch tutorial.

 Even if you are a Scratch whizz have a look anyway (you never know what you might pick up), you know where the headphones are.


Task 2 (30mins)- 


Now create your background for your board game, have your sprite move around and set up your sensors. 
Once you have done this you are free to continue on with your board game. Just keep this in your mind:


Task 3 (7mins)- 
Reflection time.
