Fwd: Crossing the Road using Scratch

Room 12 have been learning how to code using a website called scratch.mit.edu.

Because we have been learning about road safety we programmed our cat to walk across the road.   We learnt that we had to tell the cat to move more than 100 steps to achieve this and we also had to use the "turn" code to make sure the cat walked the right way.  We then recorded our voices practising our road code, saying what we should do before we cross the road.

Here are a couple of our examples for you to look at.  We hope you enjoy them.  We had lots of fun making these.
