We continued our #Computing work with #Year6 in OctoStudio, using retrieval to revisit events, the level variable, and conditionals.
Then we planned and innovated our maze game by changing sprites, interactions, and the reward or challenge. #PrimaryComputing #TaskDesign
#Year6 #Computing OctoStudio games with collisions, variables and simple conditionals.
#Retrieval revisited sprites and how they touch → state (level variable) → outcome (screen and rules). Next time: bug routine, trigger → change → expected → fix.

Computing in #Year6 today:
#retrieval on mis/dis/malinformation, then a quick critique of a webpage for readability and user experience. We bridged back to #Year5 variables, then an unplugged If…Then…Else… treasure hunt using conditionals.
