Lesson 11: Harvesting Crops with Loops
We’re continuing to learn about Loop blocks. Today we are using them to help a farmer harvest their crops!
Remember to read the instructions carefully to know how many pixels to move and to use the tools to work out the right way to turn.
Remember to take your time and go through it one step at a time.

Lesson 10: Loops with Rey and BB8
In this lesson we will learn about using the loop or repeat block.
Look for when you can use a loop block for any repeated blocks or blocks that you find in a pattern.
Remember that some of these might be tricky. Take a breath, and have another try even if something is tricky.

Lesson 6: Collecting Treasure with Laurel
In these tasks you will help Laurel the Adventurer to collect as much treasure as she can. Some puzzles will require you to only pick up one piece of treasure, but others need you to pick up every piece of treasure. Pay attention to the instructions to know what to do!
Debugging can get really frustrating at times. Remember to take your time and go through it one step at a time.

Lesson 1
Learning Intention
To understand how to create a safe password.
Lesson Information
Watch Password Rap:
A password should be 8 characters long and a combination of both letters and numbers. It is also a good idea to include a capital letter and a symbol.
- Using old catalogues, newspapers or magazines, cut out a mixture of letters, numbers and symbols to create 5 different passwords (or write them out with different and creative styles of letters and colours ).
Reflection
How do you know the passwords you created are ‘safe’?
