Zone 1: Sequence Valley

"Every great program starts with a clear sequence."

What is a Sequence?

Theory Book: Pages 9-11 | Game: gm_y3_concept_01 | ⭐ 100 XP

💡 CONCEPT

💡 Key Concept

Sequence: A set of instructions in a specific order. The ORDER matters — changing it changes the result!

🚀

Nova says:

"A sequence is like a recipe — every step must happen in the right order! If you put your shoes on before your socks, something goes wrong! 😄"

✏️ Activity 2.1 — Everyday Sequences

Put these steps for making a cup of tea in the right order. Write 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 in the boxes:

Order	Action
	Add milk or sugar
	Boil the water
	Pour hot water into the cup
	Add the tea bag
	Remove the tea bag

✏️ Activity 2.2 — Write Your Own Sequence

Write a 5-step sequence for getting ready for school:

Step	What I do
1
2
3
4
5

🤖 Activity 2.3 — Chip's Coding Challenge

Write commands to guide Chip to the star: [C][ ][ ][ ][⭐]

Available commands: MOVE, TURN_LEFT, TURN_RIGHT, COLLECT

Command 1:

Command 2:

Command 3:

Command 4:

Did Chip reach the star? ☐ Yes ☐ No

⭐ Star Challenge — Robot Algorithm

Write an algorithm for a robot to tidy a room. Be EXACT — the robot cannot guess! (Minimum 8 steps)

🌱

Zone 2: Variables Garden

"A variable is like a labelled box — put something in, give it a name, use it later!"

VAR FLOW — Step 1: STORE

Theory Book: Page 33 | Game: gm_y3_concept_03 | ⭐ 100 XP

💡 CONCEPT

💡 Key Concept

Variable: A named container that stores information.

name = "Alex" # Text variable
age = 8 # Number variable
score = 100 # Number variable
is_ready = True # Boolean (True/False)

🖊️ Activity 4.1 — Variable Boxes

Draw a box for each variable. Write the label on the outside and the value on the inside:

player_name = "Nova"

Label: ___________

Value: ___________

lives = 3

Label: ___________

Value: ___________

has_key = True

Label: ___________

Value: ___________

✏️ Activity 4.2 — Create Your Own Variables

Write 5 variables about yourself:

Variable Name	Value	Type
my_name		Text
my_age		Number
my_year_group		Number
my_favourite_colour		Text
i_like_coding		True/False

VAR FLOW — Step 2: CHANGE

Theory Book: Page 34 | Game: gm_y3_logic_03 | ⭐ 120 XP

🔮 LOGIC

✏️ Activity 5.1 — Trace the Variable

Follow the code and write the value of score after each line:

Code	Score value after this line
`score = 0`
`score = score + 10`
`score = score + 5`
`score = score - 3`
`score = score * 2`

Final value of score: ___________

✏️ Activity 5.2 — Story Variables

A character starts with 10 lives. Track the lives through the story:

Event	Change	Lives
Start	—	10
Falls in a hole	-3
Finds a health pack	+2
Hit by enemy	-1
Bonus level completed	+5
Final boss fight	-4

Final lives: ___________

Zone 3: Loops Forest

"Repeat. Practice. Perfect."

Types of Loops

Theory Book: Pages 39-40 | Game: gm_y3_coding_02 | ⭐ 150 XP

💻 CODING

💡 Key Concepts

FOR loop: Repeats a set number of times.

WHILE loop: Repeats while a condition is true.

# FOR loop — repeat exactly 5 times
for i in range(5):
    print("Hello, Galaxy!")

# WHILE loop — repeat while score < 10
score = 0
while score < 10:
    score = score + 1
    print("Score:", score)
      

✏️ Activity 10.1 — FOR Loop Practice

Complete each FOR loop:

1. Print "I love coding!" 3 times:

for i in range(   ):
    print(                    )
      

2. Print numbers 0 to 4:

for i in range(   ):
    print(   )
      

✏️ Activity 10.3 — Trace the Loop

Follow the loop and write what prints each time:

for i in range(4):
    print("Star", i)
      

Loop run	Value of i	What prints
1st	0
2nd	1
3rd	2
4th	3

✏️ Activity 10.4 — FOR or WHILE?

Task	FOR or WHILE?	Why?
Print "Hello" exactly 7 times
Keep asking for password until correct
Count from 1 to 100
Keep playing until player runs out of lives

🤖

Chip says:

"FOR loops run a set number of times. WHILE loops run until a condition is false. Choose wisely!"

🏜️

Zone 4: Condition Canyon

"IF this happens, THEN do that!"

Boolean Logic

Theory Book: Page 47 | Game: gm_y3_logic_02 | ⭐ 130 XP

🔮 LOGIC

💡 Key Concept

Boolean: True or False — nothing else!

AND: Both must be true | OR: At least one | NOT: Flip it!

✏️ Activity 14.1 — True or False?

Evaluate each expression. Write True or False:

Expression	Answer
`5 > 3`
`10 == 9`
`"cat" != "dog"`
`7 >= 7`
`4 < 2`

Expression	Answer
`100 == 100`
`"Nova" == "nova"`
`3 + 4 == 7`
`10 != 10`
`5 <= 6`

My score: ___ / 10 ⭐

✏️ Activity 14.2 — Truth Table

A	B	A AND B	A OR B	NOT A
True	True
True	False
False	True
False	False
