Turtle Academy is online coding software which teaches your students to write computer code/computer instructions in an easy to understand manner. This is achieved through writing very simple instructions to create basic (& even complex shapes).

Turtle Academy is also an alternative to using Python Programming and is suitable for less able/younger students who may initially find it difficult to code in Python.

In this lesson, students will independently practise the following skills
- Coding to create basic shapes (Sequencing and Algorithms)
- Coding with efficiency by using Loops (iteration)
- Coding with efficiency by using Procedures
- Coding different shapes of varying line widths and color.

This 11 page resource comes with the following:
- Teacher powerpoint (editable)
- Teacher powerpoint (pdf)
- Student worksheet (pdf)
- I Can Statements

Get ahead with developing your own and your students’ skills to learn programming. This is an ideal resource to meet computational Thinking standards.
