Parent’s Cheat Sheet
Scratch Jr is the fun and colourful introductory programming app for tamariki aged 5-7
However, it’s a bit full on when you’re just starting out, so we’ve gathered a bunch of resources here to help you learn about it and get started!
The following resources are located inside our digital Wharenui full of amazing resources… we normally only let kaiako and teachers in, but given the current situation, feel free to sign up and check them out!
(Clicking on any of the following links takes you to a sign up page.)
Tell me more! How do I get it?
