Teachers and volunteers, we’re delighted that you’ll be involved in our Bupa-sponsored Healthy Lunch-Bot Coding Adventure – thank you so much for being part of it! This page is designed to provide you with all the tools and information you need to make the Bupa Coding Day a success – for you and the children.

Teachers, to prepare for this activity you’ll need to take a good look through the resources below – in particular the activity guide tells you all about the resources you’ll need and how to get started. Please also check out the ‘Additional Resources’ section below for worksheets to help you review the children’s learning, and achievement certificates. You’ve probably earned one yourself too!

Note that if you have older or more able students in LKS2 (ages 7-9) or UKS2 (ages 9-11) there’s also an optional Scratch Activity for LKS2 & UKS2 children below.
‍
Volunteers, you can learn along with the children, or take a sneak peek beforehand! You’re there to encourage the children to play and explore, and use all the coding terms from our show, whilst helping them with their teamwork skills.

What’s next? Taking all the new computing terms and using them to develop a healthy lunch themed Scratch project of course! No prior Scratch knowledge is needed, but this activity also includes ideas to prompt further exploration for experienced Scratch programmers.​

Teachers, to prepare for this activity you’ll need to take a good look through the resources below – in particular the activity guide tells you how to access Scratch online and set it up for the activity.

There’s busy, and then there’s teacher-level busy. To help you out we’ve just created a ‘low prep /no prep’ activity - our Program Yourself activity.

Teachers, just watch the video with your children while they join in to test out algorithms whilst pretending to be robots!
‍
Volunteers, you can encourage the children to join in, andhelp spot where some might be struggling. If you like you can join in too - have fun!
