[foc-01 | ctdt-po1 | Sequencing code blocks to make stars twinkle]

y0-3 :: Selects and places code blocks in a sequence with support :: [Name] is beginning to sequence code blocks in ScratchJr to create simple animations, and benefits from support to connect and trigger instructions in the right order.

y4-6 :: Independently sequences code blocks to create a looping animation :: [Name] independently sequences code blocks in ScratchJr to create a purposeful, repeating animation, and can describe the role each instruction plays in the sequence.

ext :: May modify the sequence to create a different twinkle effect and explain why the order of blocks matters.

[foc-02 | ctdt-po1 | Understanding how instruction order affects the animation]

y0-3 :: Notices when the animation doesn't behave as expected, with prompting :: [Name] is developing an awareness that the order of coded instructions affects what happens on screen, and is beginning to explore this with support.

y4-6 :: Explains why changing block order produces a different result :: [Name] demonstrates an understanding that the sequence of code blocks determines the outcome of their animation, and applies this knowledge when making changes in ScratchJr.

[foc-03 | ctdt-po1 | Testing and fixing errors in their code]

y0-3 :: Runs the animation and notices when it doesn't work as intended, with support :: [Name] is beginning to test their animations in ScratchJr and, with support, can identify and attempt to correct simple errors in their code.

y4-6 :: Independently identifies and fixes errors in their sequence :: [Name] independently tests and debugs their ScratchJr animations, identifying errors in their sequence and making deliberate changes to resolve them.

[foc-04 | dddo-po1 | Creating an animated digital outcome using ScratchJr]

y0-3 :: Creates a simple animated star with support :: [Name] is learning to use ScratchJr to create simple digital animations that combine movement and text, and benefits from guidance to develop their outcome.

y4-6 :: Creates a complete animated scene with deliberate design choices :: [Name] uses ScratchJr to create a purposeful digital outcome that combines animation and text, making deliberate design choices to communicate meaning.

[foc-05 | dddo-po1 | Making design choices about how each star looks]

y0-3 :: Makes some choices about colour or size of their star sprite :: [Name] is beginning to make simple design choices in ScratchJr about how their star is represented on screen.

y4-6 :: Makes deliberate and varied design decisions about each star's appearance :: [Name] makes deliberate design decisions in ScratchJr about how each star in the Matariki cluster is represented, showing growing awareness of how visual choices communicate meaning.

[foc-06 | social-sciences | Learning about the significance of Matariki and the nine stars]

y0-3 :: Can name some Matariki stars and knows it is a special time of year :: [Name] is developing an awareness of Matariki and its significance, and is beginning to connect this cultural knowledge to their digital technology learning.

y4-6 :: Names and explains the significance of several stars in the cluster :: [Name] demonstrates knowledge of the Matariki star cluster and the significance of individual stars, and connects this understanding to the digital outcome they have created. // FLAG: Confirm 'nine stars' framing against current MoE Matariki guidance — star count varies by iwi tradition.

[foc-07 | social-sciences | Understanding Matariki as a time of remembrance, celebration, and looking ahead]

y0-3 :: Knows that Matariki is a celebration and can share one thing it is about :: [Name] is developing an understanding of Matariki as a meaningful celebration for Aotearoa and is beginning to connect this to their own experiences and community.

y4-6 :: Describes the three dimensions of Matariki and reflects on their meaning :: [Name] demonstrates an understanding of Matariki as a time of remembrance, celebration, and aspiration, and can connect this cultural understanding to their learning and community. // FLAG: Confirm 'three dimensions' framing against current MoE Matariki guidance — wording has evolved across curriculum documents.

[foc-08 | arts | Design and layout to create an engaging and accurate representation]

[foc-09 | science | Understanding that the twinkling effect is a creative representation of how stars appear to flicker when viewed from Earth.]

all :: Something observed. :: Something to report.

[foc-10 | Spatial reasoning, positioning star sprites to reflect the actual layout of the Matariki cluster.]

all :: Something observed. :: Something to report.
