Class Experience

This lesson requires access to Swift Playground. This is an Apple computer software that is free and downloadable in the App Store.

During these lessons students will learn what different types of commands are and how we sequences them to make code. This coding is then used to program a character to move about and complete the challenge. Each week we will focus on one new skill. These skills include sequencing, functions, loops, variables and conditions. 

Lessons Structure:
- Explicitly teach a new skill
- Model how to use this skill 
- Students practice using this skill in their challenges

Lesson 1 (Week starting 18th April): Sequencing
Lesson 2 (Week starting 25th April): Functions
Lesson 3 (Week starting 2nd May): Loops
Lesson 4 (Week starting 9th May): Conditional Code
