  • Place – how the product is distributed to the customer
  • Promotion – how the customer is found and persuaded to buy the product

Too dark, not enough colour. Can’t read it. Some of the band names are too small.

Not showing any other festival

It doesn’t really feel like a festival

The logo is distinctive

For somebody who likes the above bands, it is intersting and really shows who is playing

Scratch : if-then

Moving a sprite with the arrow keys : This makes the program that you are making interactive

Click here to use Scratch online version

Learning Objective / Knowledge Intention

Code, so that a sprite can move using the left, right, up and down keys.

Understand that changing the Y-axis makes an object move up and down

Changing the x-axis makes an object move left and right

Learning Outcome / Knowledge Gained

Add a sprite and script code so that the sprite (octopus) moves up, down, left and right depending on which arrow key is pressed

Link to Maths

The X and Y axis grid. In Scratch, the centre of the stage (screen) is (X:0,Y:0).

To move up and down, you have to change the position of the Y axis.

To move left and right, you have to move the postion of the X axis
