NEWS / 1 December 2014

2nd Year English students, James O'Brien and Eoin Little, programmed an online maze game in Scratch as their chosen task for English in November. Try the game yourself!

We were assigned a tasksheet from our English teacher, Ms. Reynolds, and we chose this task to create a game! We based our game on a scene from 'To Kill a Mockingbird'. We came up with the idea of it by exchanging ideas with each other. The scene is about Tom Robinson escaping from jail.  Watch how Eoin plays the game in this video on Stratford's YouTube channel. Try the game yourself by going to the link scratch.mit.edu/projects/35361340/.
