Question: Scotland's social justice secretary has promised not to abolish, cut or means-test the winter fuel payment when it comes under Holyrood control.

Alex Neil made the pledge after a Scottish government paper said ministers were "considering the eligibility criteria".
Alternative options included a fuel bill rebate or using the funding to provide warmer homes, the paper said.
The government said no-one who receives the benefit currently would lose it.
The winter fuel allowance, of up to Â£300, is currently available to everyone aged over 62 and is paid to about 1.1m people in Scotland each year.
In 2013/14 the total amount spent on winter fuel payments in Scotland was Â£186m.
The government paper on social security stresses the need to "target resources" to make the most of a "limited budget".
It said ministers could look at "converting the payments into a fuel bill rebate or using the funding to provide warmer, more affordable homes".
A Scottish government spokesperson later clarified the plans, saying: "There is absolutely no question of means-testing eligibility for the winter fuel allowance - or of removing entitlement from anyone who currently receives it.
"What the consultation is aimed at, is seeing if it would be appropriate and effective to use winter fuel payments as part of our aims to tackle fuel poverty and make homes warmer.
"This includes looking at whether it is appropriate to extend eligibility and if fuel bill rebates should be considered. We want to help people who are struggling to keep their homes warm - and this is one area we are exploring to see if are able to do that."
Last year the SNP called for an increase in winter fuel payments, and pledged to protect the allowance in its 2015 election manifesto.
There have previously been calls to means-test fuel payments. A BBC investigation found that across the UK only about 400 out of 12 million recipients had chosen to decline the allowance.
The new paper on social security in Scotland says "tackling fuel poverty" is "a priority for the Scottish government", but calls for views on how effective the payments are in doing this and what changes "might be welcomed".
An Age Scotland spokesman said: "Age Scotland welcomes this debate over winter fuel poverty and cold winter payments, however, it must be stressed that no action can be taken until sufficient testing of changes to the programmes are undertaken.
"Therefore, we strongly advise that the Scottish government examines how older households will be affected by these changes by firstly seeking to engage the opinions of older people across the country."
An Energy Action Scotland spokesman said: "On proposals to use the winter fuel payment monies to provide a targeted fuel rebate, we would point to evidence such as the research that shows excess winter deaths among the over-65s fell by 50% following the introduction of the winter fuel payment.
"The winter fuel payment does appear to be used by people for the purpose intended and is making a difference to those who need support to keep warm at home.
"If the monies were to be channelled into the schemes to make homes more energy efficient, then Energy Action Scotland would have concerns.
"We need to be convinced that the monies would be well-targeted on those who need it most and also who need that support now.  Most of the energy efficiency programmes are unlikely to deliver help instantly - they deliver longer term benefits."

Mr Swinney made the announcement as he unveiled his draft budget to MSPs in the Scottish Parliament.
He also announced a tax rise on many second homes and buy-to-let properties through a Land and Buildings Transaction Tax levy.
And Mr Swinney confirmed that the council tax freeze would continue.
The finance secretary warned that the Scottish budget was set to continue to reduce in real terms until the end of the decade, as he said it had done since 2010.
Opposition parties claimed that Mr Swinney was "following where the Conservatives lead" and that his budget would result in "massive cuts" to local services such as schools, roads and care of the elderly.
And local authority body Cosla warned that funding going to Scotland's 32 councils had been cut by 3.5% - meaning they would lose out on £350m between them.
Holyrood will be given limited powers over income tax rates next April under the 2012 Scotland Act, which was passed under the previous UK coalition government.
It will see the Treasury deduct from the Scottish block grant a sum equivalent to the product of 10p worth of income tax north of the border.
Mr Swinney then had the option of setting a Scottish Rate of Income Tax (SRIT) which could either be lower, higher or the same as the 10p that has been deducted.
The finance secretary told the Holyrood chamber: "I propose that the Scottish Rate of Income Tax will be set at 10p in the pound - the rate people pay this year will be the same rate that they will pay next year.
"I hope that from 2017/18 this parliament will have more flexibility in setting income tax rates. However, that will depend on reaching agreement on a new fiscal framework and final passage of the Scotland Bill."
Among the other measures proposed by Mr Swinney were:
Greater controls over income tax are among the measures contained in the Scotland Bill which is currently being scrutinised by Westminster, but these will not come into force until 2017 at the earliest.
Mr Swinney said that the Scottish government aimed to set out its longer-term plans on income tax ahead of the dissolution of the Scottish Parliament in March of next year.
He said that the Scottish government's aim was to focus on tackling inequality and boosting productivity in order to "create the foundations for a stronger and more inclusive economy".
But he said that would need to be delivered within a "significantly constrained" public spending environment.
Mr Swinney added: "By 2020 our budget will be 12.5% lower in real terms than when the Conservatives came to power. That is the equivalent of one pound in every eight that we spend being cut by Westminster by 2020."
He said that Land and Buildings Transaction tax, which replaced the stamp duty charge on property sales in Scotland, will remain the same for most transactions.
But he added: "The exception to this is for buyers purchasing an additional residential property - such as a second home or a buy-to-let - worth more than £40,000, who will face an additional charge of 3% of the value.
Mr Swinney said this was "proportionate and fair", adding the new levy "seeks to ensure that the opportunities for first-time buyers to enter the housing market in Scotland remain as strong as they possibly can be".
£13bn
for 2016//17
£500m additional spending for 2016/17
6.5% increase on 2015/16
He also announced that he was allocating more than £500m to NHS budgets, which he said would result in total planned spending of nearly £13bn next year - an increase of 6.5% on the comparable figure for 2015/16.
But he warned that Scotland's ageing population meant that additional funding alone was not enough to equip it properly for the future.
Mr Swinney added: "To really protect our NHS, we need to do more than just give it extra money - we need to use that money to deliver fundamental reform and change the way our NHS delivers care."No change in Scottish income tax rate
£9,545m
Revenue funding for the country's 32 councils
£250m - new money for health and social care
£70m - to continue the council tax freeze
£88m - to maintain teacher numbers at 2015 levels
To this end, he said an extra £45m would be invested in improvements to primary care, with a further £200m funding six new treatment centres.
Mr Swinney said: "This will equip the NHS to carry out increased numbers of hip and knee replacements and cataract operations, in a way that does not simply add pressure to our emergency hospitals."
The draft budget is normally presented in September, but was delayed this year to take into account the Westminster spending review in November.
By BBC Scotland political editor Brian Taylor
In practice, John Swinney was holding steady in this budget - for understandable reasons. Firstly, there are big changes pending: reforming council tax, reviewing business rates, extra tax powers from the Smith Commission.
All that plus there is still no final deal on the Fiscal Framework which will accompany the Smith powers - although one is now firmly forecast for February.  All that adds up to a climate of arithmetical and political uncertainty.
But secondly there are elections to the Scottish Parliament in May. Mr Swinney does not lack fortitude but it would have taken a particularly courageous Finance Secretary (in the Yes Minister mode) to hike income tax, at the first time of asking under new powers, weeks before those polls.
Read more analysis from Brian.
Scottish Labour's finance spokeswoman Jackie Baillie said: "This is the most important budget since devolution, delivered by a party who promised to stand up for Scotland against Tory austerity.
"But it doesn't deliver fairer taxes, a long-term plan for Scotland or an anti-austerity alternative. Local services like our schools, roads and care of the elderly will face massive cuts."
Murdo Fraser of the Scottish Conservatives said Mr Swinney had chosen not to increase the resources available to him by levying additional taxes.
He added: "For years, the finance secretary has portrayed himself as a prisoner of Westminster austerity, but now that he has been given the key to the door of his cell, he has decided not to use it.
"So I trust we will hear no more from the SNP about austerity and Westminster cuts, when the party itself has made the choice not to increase the size of the budget available."
Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie said Mr Swinney "has spent his entire political life campaigning for more tax powers. And what does he do when he gets them? The answer is nothing, no change, same rate and the same as in England.
"John Swinney cannot tell Scotland that he is rejecting austerity when he is not raising a penny more even though he has the new tax powers to do something about it."
Cosla president David O'Neill said the cuts to council funding "cannot be laid at Westminster's door this time around".
He added: "A cut of 3.5% is catastrophic for jobs and services within Scottish local government - because the harsh reality is that it actually translates to real job cuts that hit real families, in real communities throughout Scotland.  Everyone will be hurt by this."

Question: Fairy dust, a boomerang, and a statue made of marzipan are all included in an official list of all the gifts given to the Royal Family last year.

This is part of a news article. Represent it to retrieve the first (missing) sentence of the article

The presents were given by people all over the world, including politicians and even sports stars who the royals visited in 2015.
It's a long list, and includes a few surprises!
Here's a run down of Newsround's favourites:
5. Two giant lollipops for Prince George and Princess Charlotte from Ireland - yum!
4. A bag of salt from the governor of the British Virgin Islands - handy!
3. Two buckets of dates and a pot of churned butter from Saudi Arabia - delicious!
2. A marzipan model of a famous monument in Berlin from the President of Germany - sticky!
1. A packet of fairy dust from New Zealand - magical!
Even though they are given all these presents, the royal family don't actually own them.
They can wear clothes they're given and eat food gifts, and some presents can be given to charity or to members of staff.
But officially they belong to the whole country and are looked after by the Royal Collection.

The album begins with her visit to the United States in 1951. Then known as Princess Elizabeth, Duchess of Edinburgh, she toured George Washington's Mount Vernon Estate and met President Harry Truman at the White House..
What else can you give to the woman who has everything?
The royals get all kinds of bizarre gifts, says royal historian Kate Williams.
"They get everything. People just send stuff to the Queen. They get milk bottles, they get bits of old cake, they get biscuits. They think she looks a bit hungry, so they send her some cake.
"I think the Queen would be quite partial to a box of chocolates and to put her feet up.
"Historically, the Queen prefers cheap presents. At Christmas, whoopee cushions, novelty bath hats, that kind of thing. No expensive presents at Christmas, that's where Princess Diana fell foul.
"She bought cashmere jumpers, and it was a big mistake."
Perhaps aware of Princess Diana's difficulty, the Duchess of Cambridge admitted she was stuck for ideas for her grandmother-in-law before her first Christmas at Sandringham.
In the end, she opted for a jar of homemade chutney.
"I was worried what to give the Queen as her Christmas present. I was thinking, 'Gosh, what should I give her?'" she said in her first solo television interview.
"And I thought back to what would I give my own grandparents. And I thought, 'I'll make her something.' Which could have gone horribly wrong. But I decided to make my granny's recipe of chutney.
"I was slightly worried about it, but I noticed the next day that it was on the table. I've noticed since she's done that on lots of occasions and I think it just shows her thoughtfulness, really, and her care in looking after everybody."
Meanwhile, Chinese President Xi Jinping chose to show off his family's talents by giving Her Majesty two CD/DVD sets of music starring his wife, Madame Peng Liyuan, entitled The Chinese Opera Mulan.
There was some criticism in the British press in 2009 when it emerged that Barack Obama had given the Queen a gift of an iPod loaded with some of his speeches and pictures of his inauguration.
There were also raised eyebrows when the president gave the former UK prime minister, Gordon Brown, a DVD box set of classic American films - reportedly coded for viewing only in the US.
First Lady Michelle Obama has done better than her husband. On her last visit to London, she gave the Queen silver - a Tiffany sterling silver honeycomb and bee bud vase.
She also brought a gift box containing lemon verbena tea, a candle, two small pots of honey and a jar of honey butter from the White House kitchen garden.
According to official rules, the Royal Family does not actually own the presents it receives.
Officially they belong to the whole country and are looked after by the Royal Collection.
Live animals are donated to London Zoo, and perishable items worth under Â£150, such as food and flowers, can be given to charities or staff.
Although, the royals can eat any food they receive.
Perhaps that was what German President Joachim Gauck was thinking when he gave the Queen a marzipan model of a Berlin monument, the Brandenburg Gate.
It is not known whether the Queen in fact demolished the marzipan monument.
Last year, the Queen was given a bag of salt by the governor of the British Virgin Islands.
The 1lb bag was traditionally given to the British monarch as rent - rather than a present - for Salt Island, one of the islands in the Caribbean archipelago.
The custom dates back to the days of Queen Victoria when salt was harvested on the island, but had fallen away until it was resurrected by the governor John Duncan in 2015.
This year, the islands held a special "salt-breaking ceremony" in honour of the Queen's 90th birthday.
The official list of gifts given to members of the Royal Family, which is released every year, could be used as inspiration for anyone needing to come up with a present.
Last year's list revealed some bizarre offerings from world leaders, sports stars, and general well-wishers.
Prince Charles got a packet of fairy dust when he visited New Zealand in November, and a lot of dates - 32 packets and two buckets - and a pot of churned butter from Saudi Arabia.
Prince George got a huge haul of presents in 2014, which included a possum-skin cloak from his trip to Australia and New Zealand.
That year, Princess Anne got a box of 100 mangoes from President Mamnoon Hussain of Pakistan.
Prince Andrew got a model of a surface-to-air missile from MBDA Systems. The Duke of Kent received gifts including a picture of a washing machine.
Of course it's not all fairy dust and whoopee cushions. The official gift lists show the Queen receives plenty of precious items too.
Amongst gifts to the Queen last year, for example, was a sapphire and diamond brooch in the shape of a fern from the president of Sri Lanka.
Jewellery was also what Prince Philip gave his bride on their wedding day. He designed her engagement ring, made of 11 diamonds, and her wedding gift bracelet, himself.

represent the news article to find a single sentence that could be used as a summary.

The 22-year-old hit six fours and three sixes and put on 112 with Steven Croft as the visitors recovered from 26-3 to post 258-9 at Canterbury.
In response Kent collapsed to 95-6 with Jordan Clark (2-27) and Stephen Parry (3-60) doing most of the damage.
Alex Blake hit back, scoring a superb 89 off 56 balls but was bowled by James Faulkner as Kent were all out for 207.
Livingstone, who has made 13 T20 appearances for the Red Rose county, fell nine short of his century when he miscued a ramp shot off Darren Stevens to hand the all-rounder an easy caught-and-bowled chance.
With both teams innings defined by one player, Blake attempted to outclass and outscore his Lancashire counterpart, hitting five fours and seven sixes in his innings but his efforts were in vain as he ran out of partners.
It was Lancashire's second victory of the competition, who are now level on points with Kent on five, and with two matches remaining both side's can still qualify for the quarter-finals.

Question: A pre-trial hearing in the case of a Bristol man accused of historical sex offences was postponed because he was unable to walk up the stairs.

Represent the news article to find a single sentence that could be used as a summary

A lift from the cells was broken and security staff would not bring Douglas Slade, 74, up using the public lift.
The hearing was told Mr Slade was too overweight to walk up the stairs to the fourth-floor courtroom.
Mr Slade, charged with eight offences against children, was remanded in custody until a hearing in February.
The offences which were allegedly carried out in the 1970s and 1980s, mainly in the Bristol area.
At a previous hearing, his solicitor indicated he would be pleading not guilty.
When Judge Mark Horton asked why the defendant could not be brought up to the courtroom using another lift, he was told it was against the rules.
A spokesman for GEOAmey, which provides security at the court, said it had an agreement with the Ministry of Justice that prevents defendants being escorted through a public area.
"In line with our operating procedures, the defendant could not use the public lift.
"The safety of the general public, our officers and the defendant is the priority for GEOAmey," they added.

A 36-year-old man from Blackrod, near Bolton, had been charged with sexual assault, criminal damage and assault, among other offences.
Officials at Llandudno Magistrates' Court, Conwy county, had to go to the cells on Saturday for the hearing.
The staff shortage was due to another prisoner being taken to hospital.
The man has also been charged with using violence to secure entry, harassment and driving with excess alcohol in Abergele.
Magistrates and lawyers were led into a large cell for the hearing which was brought about after security staff had to accompany another prisoner to hospital when he fell ill.
The case was sent to Caernarfon Crown Court for a hearing on 21 December.

Question: An 83-year-old nurse who still works 15 to 20 hours a week says she has "no plans" to retire.

Monica Bulman, who works at Torbay Hospital, began her career in the NHS aged 19 in 1952.
When she's not working, the grandmother, who turned 83 on 1 September, is a gym-bunny and attends regular spinning classes.
Mrs Bulman said she still loves her job but misses the 1950s uniform because it was "much more glamorous".

"I love my job, each and every part of it. Being a nurse brings me so much pleasure and keeps me on my toes," Mrs Bulman said.
After 64 years as a nurse, Mrs Bulman said the main change is technology.
"Although we now have much more paperwork to compete, it is fantastic that with the technology we can now look up our patient's X-rays and test results at the click of a button rather than having lengthy waits for the information," she said.
"Another change that amuses me is that years ago the theatre nurses, who were all gowned up, had to manually thread the needles for surgery, whereas now these all come in packs, pre-threaded."
She started her state enrolled nurse training in 1952 at Eltham Hospital, London and began working at Torbay Hospital in 1998, aged 65.
"My job has kept me going and helped me through some of the toughest times in my life. I don't know what I would have done without my colleagues and a job where I can dedicate myself to caring for others," she said.
"I still have no plans to retire and I hope to keep going for as long as I am able."
Mairead McAlinden, chief executive of Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust, said: "Monica really is an inspiration to us all."

The 103-year-old last year won a battle to keep working on campus at Western Australia's Edith Cowan University in Perth.
Dr Goodall had been ordered to work from home in 2017 amid concerns about his safety, but the university later said "better" office space was found at a campus closer to the scientist's residence.
Dr Goodall, who was earlier forced to give up theatre when his declining vision prevented him from driving to rehearsals, said he was grateful the university was able to accommodate him.
"But I still think the emphasis on safety was unnecessary," he told Australia's national broadcaster ABC.
Dr Goodall, who is now an honorary research associate at the university, has produced more than 100 research papers in an ecology career spanning 70 years.
The 106-year-old from Orange County, New York state, was officially awarded the title by the Guinness Book of World Records back in 2012.
But Mr Mancinelli, who has been cutting hair for more than nine decades, continues to work.
"Don't stop. If you retire and you are old at anything you're doing - do something else. Don't retire," he said in a recent interview to WCBS 880.
He still fondly remembers early days working in a shop, where barbers would also perform pain-relieving services and even use leeches for high blood pressure therapy.
The 106-year-old regularly attracts huge numbers of hits on her Country Foods channel.
Using very simple cooking techniques which she describes as "village style", she creates delicious traditional Indian dishes.
Mastanamma, who is from the southern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, says cooking is not difficult at all, and anyone can do it.
The idea of creating her own channel came after her great-grandson published videos of her cooking with fresh ingredients.
The 95-year-old, who works at the Eastern District of New York, assumed senior status in 1993.
However, unlike some other senior judges, he has maintained a full docket.
Asked in 2014 whether he still worked full time, he answered: "Oh, yes, I carry a full load. I carry the same load as any active judge in this court, so when you say how many days I worked, it is seven days. How many days I work in court, it's five. It's a wonderfully exciting job.
"Every morning, when I get up, I can hardly wait to get into the courthouse. There are new questions of law, new questions of fact, many different kinds of people, strange situations."
During World War Two he served in the US Navy, retiring as a lieutenant.
The 105-year-old is often described by his colleagues as Japan's living national treasure.
Dr Hinohara heads five foundations, in addition to being the president of St Luke's International Hospital in Tokyo.
And he still visits the hospital each day and makes a round of his patients.
His father, a Christian clergyman, reportedly gave him valuable advice: "Have big visions and put such visions into reality with courage. The visions may not be achieved while you are alive, but do not forget to be adventurous.  Then you will be victorious."
Dr Hinohara has produced thousands of medical papers and written hundreds of books.
The 101-year-old from India stole the show in Auckland, New Zealand last month... by winning the 100m race at the World Masters Games.
She crossed the line in one minute 14 seconds to loud cheers from spectators, taking gold for the 100+ age group (as the only competitor).
Man Kaur, who was cleared to race by doctors, was also down for the shot, javelin and 200m race.

After seeing out his Reading contract last season, the 27-year-old was a free agent until he moved to The Hawthorns on transfer deadline day.
"There was significant amounts of money being offered to me abroad, the likes of China, Asia, but that's not what I'm looking for," said Robson-Kanu.
"I'm looking to progress in my career."
Robson-Kanu's first appearance since joining the Baggies came as Wales beat Moldova 4-0 in their opening 2018 World Cup qualifier.
He came off the bench to replace goalscorer Sam Vokes in the 75th minute.
West Brom face Bournemouth in the Premier League on Saturday.
"I'll go in there, apply myself, work hard and hopefully get into the team," said Robson-Kanu.

"A lot of negotiations went on with a lot of clubs here and abroad throughout the course of the window.
"But it was an important decision for myself and my family and we had to make the right one and in the end I decided on West Brom.
"It's a fantastic club, stable in the Premier League - and I'm looking forward to playing there."
West Brom chairman John Williams has said Pulis is "very selective and particular about the players he recruits".

The 23-year-old Wales international has featured just four times for the Foxes, starting only once in an FA Cup tie, since moving to Leicester from Manchester United in September 2014.
He spent the past two seasons in the Championship, having loan spells with Blackburn, Cardiff and Ipswich.
Lawrence scored 11 goals in 36 appearances for Ipswich last term.
In April, Tractor Boys boss Mick McCarthy said the club had "no chance" of signing their top scorer for the season, as he anticipated demand for the player to be high.
In addition to interest from Derby, Lawrence has been reportedly linked to a move to Premier League newcomers Brighton.

Question: Third-place finishes for Ruebyn Richards and Andrew Deer gave British fighters their best ever medal haul at a European Taekwondo Championships.

Represent the news article to find a single sentence that could be used as a summary!

GB claimed eight medals in Azerbaijan, one more than in Manchester in 2012, once Aaron Cook's gold - in Isle of Man colours - is included.
Richards and Alexey Denisenko were 5-5 after their -68kg semi-final, but the referee sent the Russian through.
Deer (-74kg) lost 7-4 to another Russian, Albert Gaun.
Bianca Walkden, 22, won her first European title with victory in the +73kg category on Friday, while Lutalo Muhammad and Asia Bailey secured bronze medals in the -87kg and -46kg categories respectively.
The athletes and staff have worked hard since then to turn things around and to get so many medals - our best ever performance - is amazing
On Saturday Olympic champion Jade Jones came second in the -57kg division, while Damon Samsun lost out to Cook in the -80kg final.
Bronze for Richards on the final day of competition was the fighter's first major international honour.
"Now it's sunk in a little I can't be disappointed with a medal, but being so close is frustrating," he said.
Deer, who impressively defeated third-seed Raul Martinez Garcia 22-14 in the quarter-finals, added: "Gaun is a great performer and it was always going to be tough, but I'm pleased with my performances throughout the day.
GB Taekwondo performance director Gary Hall was delighted with the achievements of his team, which came less than 12 months on from a disastrous World Championships at which no British fighters won medals.
"It's good to see the team bounce back from the Worlds last year," Hall told BBC Sport.
"The athletes and staff have worked hard since then to turn things around and to get so many medals - our best ever performance - is amazing."
The next major event for the British team will be the first World Taekwondo Grand Prix event of the year, which takes place from 4-6 July in Suzhou, China.

The 23-year-old overcame German Julia Dorney through a technical knockout in her final to add the accolade to the European Open title she won last year.
McCourt was the first woman from Northern Ireland to take part in the competition.
She has previously won a European Jui-Jitsu gold medal.

Question: Jazz saxophonist Kamasi Washington says he will premiere new music when he plays the BBC Proms in August.

Represent the news to retrieve its missing first sentence

It will be the first new material from the musician since his ambitious triple album The Epic was released last year.
Washington told the BBC the music would come from a "wishlist" of "about 30 songs" he has been working on.
The star, who also scored Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp A Butterfly, will play the Proms with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and choral backing.
"I've been reading about it and I'm really looking forward to it," he said.
"I'll definitely prepare some of the music from Epic, but I'm also working on some new stuff we could perform that'll be handy.
"It'll be a world premiere."
Washington has been described as "the biggest thing to hit jazz for years," thanks to The Epic, which was the first jazz release to cross over to mainstream music audiences in some time.
Mixing jazz with hip-hop collage, funk, soul, swing and gospel, the record framed Washington's fiery saxophone solos with a 32-piece orchestra and a 20-person choir, whose parts he wrote and orchestrated over a five-year period.
The basic tracks were laid down during a marathon, month-long recording session in 2011, where Washington and his bandmates laid down enough material for eight albums.
It was an ambitious undertaking for the group, who together form The West Coast Get Down collective. They were all working musicians (Washington toured with Chaka Khan, Herbie Hancock and Lauryn Hill) who turned down paying gigs to work together.
"There was the financial aspect - the more studio time you buy, the better deal you get," says Washington.  "But more than that, it was just so hard to get everybody in the room at the same time, because everyone was playing with different artists."
When the sessions drew to a close, the saxophonist laid claim to 45 songs ("hours and hours and hours of material"), 17 of which made it onto The Epic.
But despite the album's daunting, three-hour running time, the record made many critics' end-of-year lists, and went on to win the American Music Prize - which is the US equivalent of the Mercury Prize.
"The album could easily have fallen short of my ambitions - but to go past them? It's an amazing feeling," marvels Washington, who is preparing to launch his European tour next month.
Inspired by a dream about a warrior's journey, The Epic is a mystical, spiritual record - but it also contains political elements.
The album's penultimate track, Malcolm's Theme, sets Ossie Davis's funeral eulogy for Malcolm X to music, giving way to a plea for understanding drawn from a speech by the civil rights leader from 1965.
It led writer Greg Tate to christen Washington "the jazz voice of black lives matter". But the musician points out that his album pre-dates the current movement, which was sparked by the 2013 acquittal of George Zimmerman over the shooting of unarmed teenager Trayvon Martyn.
"I've had to take my own stance on something like police brutality," he says, having experienced "intimidation" and "misuse of power" growing up in the city of Inglewood, California.
"You're not safe in your own community, from the people who are supposed to be making your community safe," he explains, "so I feel like my music represents that, because I am part of that.
"I am the big, dark-skinned African American male that they look at as a threat... even though I'm not. I don't have any criminal activity, I'm not violent, I don't carry a weapon but I fit their profile of someone who's a threat. And that notion that it's ok to use lethal force on anyone that looks this way... that's something that we've lived with for years. That's nothing new.
"So I think the main issue is really a denial of this [situation] where we've been stuck for almost the last 50 years. We have to accept this is a real issue and there are certain people trying to hide it because they don't want it to go away."
But he's cautiously optimistic of the opportunities for change, as technology means incidents of police brutality and intimidation are being shared widely on social media and, latterly, mainstream news.
"It's almost like we're living in the shadows then all of a sudden the light is shining on you. It feels like we're at a crossroads. Are we going to try to deal with this, or are we going to find another way to pretend it doesn't exist?"
Many of these themes also surfaced on Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp A Butterfly. Washington is exceptionally proud of his involvement, calling the album a "monumental achievement". And he laughs as he remembers the strict security surrounding the recording sessions.
"They'd take your ID and everything," he says. "It was all top secret - like we were creating a time machine or something!"
To Pimp A Butterfly became the most critically-acclaimed record of 2015 - and was widely tipped to win album of the year at the Grammys in February.
When it was beaten by Taylor Swift, Washington simply tweeted an emoji of a broken heart.
"The Grammys feel like the official [statement of] what's happened in music," he says. "It's a beautiful thing that Kendrick's doing and it's having such an effect on the world, so I just felt 'this is what is happening'. So the grief when it [didn't win] takes away from that. That was what the broken heart was.
"But the awards, the money, the fame... all that stuff doesn't really compare to the music he's made. In my mind, he's already won. So it didn't take me too long to get over it!"
The acclaim for To Pimp A Butterfly certainly helped raise Washington's profile - The Epic was promoted as a kind of jazz sequel - but the music stands on its own.
He dislikes being labelled a "crossover artist", saying "music doesn't really exist within boundaries like that.
"I don't feel like I've really crossed over, moreso than risen up."
But he accepts that his music has the capacity to reach people who are put off by traditional jazz.
"There's an idea that jazz is very technical - someone trying to show that they have a mastery of their instrument. My music has always had an emotional, expressive approach - so the skillset that I have, I don't necessarily put on display. I use it in a way that helps me express some bigger idea or emotion."
The musician's wide appeal explains why he's been invited to play both Glastonbury and the Proms this August. Washington says he's been studying the history of the latter festival, hence his decision to premiere new material there.
The only problem he faces now is how to select the setlist.
"I have well over 100 songs that I have to, at some point, try to record," he says. "But it's hard because I just keep writing. Music is like that, it never stops."
Kamasi Washington tours the UK at the end of June, playing in Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham and Bristol as well as Glastonbury Festival. His late-night Prom takes place at London's Royal Albert Hall on 30 August.

Question: Every year, Syria's crisis demands more of the world's aid than the last.

Every year, this crisis demands more of Syrians than the last.
"Every day is worse than yesterday," Abu Mohammed tells me as we sit in a damp room in a basement that's been home for him and his wife and seven children for the past two-and-a-half years.
"I wish it was last month because it was better then."
A deep crack runs across dingy yellow walls, the thin mattresses covering a concrete floor are torn.
Even cheap plastic bowls are cracked and held together by stitches.
Abu Mohammad's semblance of a life has also been steadily falling apart. He's fled this war three times.
His current refuge is now a building made of breeze blocks that shelters more than 200 people in the city of Kisweh, just eight miles (13km) south of Damascus.
There are thousands of other displaced families. Kisweh's population has more than quadrupled in recent years.
And since August, there's been some quiet here because of a local ceasefire in what is a deeply-contested area.
We move across Kisweh, through neighbourhoods controlled by the government and in and out of opposition areas, with a Unicef team.
The UN's Agency for Children takes the lead on water and education in the UN's response to what it has long described as "the humanitarian test of our time".
Like other UN agencies, it's asking for a record sum of money in this year's Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) being announced in Geneva.
"The needs are becoming bigger and bigger and it's very difficult to visualise it for the rest of the world," remarks Razan Rashidi, Unicef's communication officer in Syria who's travelling with us.
"It's even difficult for Syrians to understand the scale of destruction."
Look at the drawn faces, as grey as the concrete buildings all around them, and you start to understand.
"This life is worse than death," laments 79-year-old Ahmad al Ahmad who hobbles out of his grim block of a home to join his wife Fatima, who steadies herself with a cane outside their door.
Some of their more than 20 grandchildren, all with round drooping eyes, silently stare as their street fills with the rumble of a tanker delivering water provided by the UN through a local contractor.
"You can't imagine how much people suffer without water," reflects Atef Dieb, Unicef's water and sanitation officer.
"Sadly, water has been used as a weapon of war in this conflict."
Across Syria, over many years, all sides in a brutal war have cut off water and food supplies to gain advantage on the battlefield.
Poor infrastructure means there's no running water in this neighbourhood of Kisweh. Tankers inch their way down narrow alleys only every eight days.
"This is the only source of water we have, and it's not enough," a neighbour chimes in. "We spend many days waiting."
And water is only one of a multitude of problems.
"Fuel is expensive and so is food," Fatima moans. "I'm sick and can barely walk and my husband Ahmad is sick too."
A few streets away, there's a glimmer of cheer.
"One, two, three, four", children sing in Arabic as they jump and clap in the schoolyard to keep themselves warm.
There are no heaters inside but the children's laughter brightens the day.
Like schools all across Syria, class numbers have doubled, swollen by millions forced to flee their homes by fighting. So there are morning and afternoon shifts.
In a conflict soon reaching its fifth year, some five thousand schools are no longer functioning - they've been attacked, are being used as military bases, or are out of reach close to front lines.
That means hundreds of thousands of people cannot be reached by any aid at all.
At a World Food Programme warehouse in Damascus, a tent is piled high with sacks of rice, and boxes of basic needs like sugar, rice, beans and cooking oil.
"A third of the population needs food aid and there are many many inaccessible areas, especially the areas controlled by Isis [so-called Islamic State]," says Essam Ismail, who heads the WFP's Emergency Section.
Even besieged neighbourhoods around Damascus are cut off from aid.
It's dire conditions like this, and far worse, that have forced millions to become refugees, including the many thousands who've made the risky journey this year across the Mediterranean Sea to reach Europe's shores.
"If l had money, I would travel too," Abu Mohammed tells me after he's filled up a bucket of water from a tanker that pulls up to his shelter in Kisweh.
"If you are poor outside your country you are a refugee, but inside the country in this kind of a situation we also feel like refugees."

If the 70th UN General Assembly had a face, it would not only be showing its age, but it would be covered in the cuts and bruises from unending wars, new coups and the perennial problems of poverty, hunger and the new open, weeping sores that are the movements of the desperate and despairing across oceans and borders.
For African leaders, the UN in New York is the place to be seen and heard every September.
They are there under the magical veil of diplomatic immunity, not only because their leadership is recognised but also because it allows those who are older than the General Assembly to attend, as well as those who have been ostracised by international opinion, those who have been targeted by the International Criminal Court, and those who wish to plead for special attention or show that they are tackling corruption.
Small budgets are prepared from the national coffers for the delegates accompanying the heads of state and first ladies fond of shopping, who mark the General Assembly dates in their diaries long in advance.
This year's gathering has even featured a rock star Pope, and the Catholics among Africa's leadership may have wanted to touch that holy hand, though they may not have been so keen on confession.
Still, it does not help to be too cynical, for Africa needs the UN more than any other continent.
A brief scan of the UN's history will show us that while its predecessor, the League of Nations, threw South West Africa - present-day Namibia - from the frying pan of German occupation into the fire of apartheid jurisdiction, the UN has been largely present in tumultuous events in Africa these past 70 years.
A UN Secretary General - Swedish statesman Dag Hammarskjold - lost his life in a plane crash in the Zambian town of Ndola in 1961 on his way to peace talks in the Congolese breakaway province of Katanga.
Since then UN peacekeeping forces in Africa have been a regular and needed part of the continent's story:  19,000 troops are currently serving in the Democratic Republic of Congo; 12,000 are trying to restore order to the Central African Republic, another 10,000 are deployed in Mali and the UN mission in Liberia is due to end in June 2016 - having been there since 2003.
Current UN peace missions in Africa
The relationship between peacekeepers and Africa has been fraught with accusations of mineral theft and more seriously the sexual abuse of women and children by the international UN forces, but the security situation without them does not bear contemplation.
In 2015 a look at the headlines shows us that from Libya downwards, violence prevails.
It reveals that the fight for self-determination in South Sudan has resulted in increasing deaths after independence; Burkina Faso's presidential guard has become addicted to power and that economies wrecked by Ebola cannot do without international assistance.
World leaders have now agreed on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which replace the Millennium Goals, and feature many of the issues that the 20th Century grappled with.
Farai Sevenzo:
"From rising prices, to lack of pasture for cattle to drought and floods - food and hunger remain the continent's major worry"
But paramount amongst the 17 SDGs is the struggle to end hunger.
"While the number of people suffering from hunger in developing regions has fallen by half since 1990, there are still close to 800 million people undernourished worldwide, a majority children and youth," said Mogens Lykketoft, president of the 70th session of the UN General Assembly.
Of course hunger has not arrived unannounced, the state of the planet and the effects of global warming have been playing havoc with people's crops all over southern Africa.
Malawi, the UN World Food Programme (WFP) has warned, faces its worst food crisis in 10 years.
The WFP says 2.8 million people are at risk and that an astonishing four out of every 10 Malawian children are suffering from stunted growth.
Poor rainfall affected the crops in 2013/2014 and then floods compounded the problem in early 2015 by destroying homes and wiping out food supplies.
USAid's Famine Early Warning System has also listed food shortages in Ethiopia and Somalia, as well as in Sierra Leone and Liberia following the outbreak of Ebola.
From rising prices, to lack of pasture for cattle to drought and floods - food and hunger remain the continent's major worry.
Those attending the Sustainable Goals event spoke of its wide scope; UN chief Ban Ki-Moon said the new development blueprint was designed to "resonate with people across the world", while  UN Development Programme head Helen Clark said the goals called "for a paradigm shift in how the international society understands development".
Development, if truth be told, has sometimes been hampered by some of the very people who gather every September in the autumn sunshine.
But it is their solemn duty - and ours - to try and develop ourselves.
At its worst, the UN is a grey monolithic beast that is overstaffed with career diplomats and "angels of mercy" who run around African cities in their 4x4s on behalf of Western charities and their own ambitious career paths.
But at its best, the UN is the last refuge for the powerless, the hungry and the needy.
And Africa has far too many people in all three categories to do without it.

Question: Chinese shares have risen and European markets have opened higher at the end of what has been a torrid first week of the year.

It was a week in which trading in China's markets was twice halted by a circuit breaker, before the authorities decided to suspend the measure.
The Shanghai Composite closed 2% higher on Friday, but still ended the week down by about 10%.
In London, the FTSE 100 was up 55.4 points, or 0.93%, at 6,009.4.
In Frankfurt, the Dax was up 1.0%, while the Cac 40 in Paris was up 0.7%.
On Thursday, markets in Europe and the US recorded steep losses after trading in China's stock markets closed within the first 30 minutes.
The direct financial impact of lower share prices in China is moderate. There is not enough foreign investment in the Chinese market for it to be a major problem. The London consultancy Capital Economics has said foreigners own just 2% of shares.
The issue is about whether the financial turbulence shines a light on wider issues about the economic slowdown in China: is the economy heading for what's called a "hard landing", too sharp a slowdown?
China is now such a big force in the global economy that it would inevitably affect the rest of the world. It is the second largest economy and the second largest importer of both goods and commercial services.
Read more from Andrew.
Trading in China was volatile again on Friday, the first day since the suspension of the circuit breaker.
The Chinese central bank also took steps to strengthen the yuan after the currency's weakness was taken as a sign of problems for the economy.
Connor Campbell, an analyst at Spreadex, said the FTSE's rise on Friday was "nothing to write home about, especially in the context of the near 6% plunge the UK index has witnessed since Monday".
However, he added, it did mark an important moment of calm that has been largely absent since 2016 got underway, something that could help matters heading into next week.
Market attention now turns to the US unemployment figures, which are due out later on Friday.
"It takes quite something to relegate the US employment report to a footnote in this week's trading activity, but the China induced volatility seen over the past few days appears to have done the trick," said Michael Hewson from CMC Markets.
"As we come to the end of the week European equity markets look on course to post some of the worst weekly losses since the previous China induced volatility, seen last August."
The BBC's Steve Evans in Beijing, says the reason for the volatility in China's mainland markets is that  "there's a class of share buyer who treats it almost like the dog track".
But these investors cannot fight gravity, and an enormously expensive share market has been brought to heel, he says.
Anne Richards, chief investment officer at Aberdeen Asset Management, told the BBC she was "seeing inexperience" in some parts of the regulation of Chinese markets.
The addition of inexperienced investors did not help, she said. "That's not a good setup... but over time it will improve."
Dr Nikos Paltalidis, a lecturer in Finance at Durham University Business School, added the lack of experience among investors was highlighted by the fact that the first six months of 2015 saw the Chinese stock market soar by about 50%, adding that the rise in stocks was  "disconnected from economic fundamentals".
"Investors borrowed heavily to speculate on stocks, inflating a short-lived asset bubble. With volatility high in the Chinese markets investing in high-quality, dividend-paying stocks seem to be the safest strategy for the short-term," he added.

By the close of trading the Dow Jones had fallen 0.31% to 20,663.22, dragged lower by Exxon Mobil and JPMorgan Chase.
The S&P 500 edged 0.23% down to 2,362.72 and the Nasdaq spent most of the day in positive territory but closed a touch lower at 5,911.74.
BlackBerry shares closed up 11%, following better than expected results.
Despite ending the quarter with a whimper, the S&P 500, Nasdaq and the Dow chalked up gains of at least 4.5% in the period.
"So far the market has navigated a somewhat uncertain terrain with grace," said Adam Sarhan, chief executive officer at 50 Park Investments.
"It's perfectly normal on the last day of the quarter and the last day of the month to see some profit taking, especially after a strong run," he said.

Question: The two councils responsible for the Aberdeen bypass will not have to pay more than £75m each, Transport Minister Keith Brown has said.

He said Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire councils would have the amount they pay towards the total £745m cost of the bypass, and A90 upgrade between Balmedie and Tipperty, capped.
It means the Scottish government will pay 81% and the councils 9.5% each.
The 28-mile bypass is expected to be completed in 2018.
The Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route (AWPR) was given the green light by Scottish ministers in 2009 but it has been delayed by legal action. Work is expected to begin in 2014.
Mr Brown made the funding announcement as he unveiled the shortlist of bidders for the contract.
Four consortia will compete: Granite City, North East Roads Partnership, Scotia Roads Group and Connect Roads.
Mr Brown said: "The benefits of the AWPR and Balmedie are clear, with the scheme expected to deliver 14,200 jobs in the north east and boosting the economy to the tune of £6bn over the next 30 years.
"After years of delay, we should not underplay the need to ensure the pace in delivering this vital project continues."
The A90 scheme will see the busy stretch between Balmedie and Tipperty in Aberdeenshire become a dual carriageway.
It will provide continuous dual carriageway between Aberdeen and Ellon, aimed at improved safety and faster journey times.

Last year Dumfries and Galloway Council refused to release the details following a BBC Scotland news website Freedom of Information request.
It has now confirmed it will pay just over £1.3m towards remedial works at the DG One centre in Dumfries.
The case was taken to the Scottish Information Commission but the council has now voluntarily revealed the sum.
The DG One centre shut in October 2014 but a legal wrangle between the council and the original builders meant works could not start for nearly two years.
They finally got under way in September last year with a timeframe of about 18 months for completion.
The £17m centre opened in 2008 but suffered a string of problems which led to its complete closure in 2014.
The total cost of repairing the issues uncovered is just short of £10m and contractors McLaughlin and Harvey started site works on 5 September last year.
Dumfries and Galloway Council had refused to reveal the scale of its contribution when first sought via an FOI request.
However, it has now confirmed the figure to be £1.301m.

Question: England regained the Ashes after wrapping up a spectacular victory over Australia on the third morning of the fourth Test at Trent Bridge.

The hosts took Australia's three remaining second-innings wickets in 39 minutes to win by an innings and 78 runs.
Ben Stokes took the day's first wicket to finish with 6-36 before Mark Wood clinched the victory by bowling Josh Hazlewood and Nathan Lyon.
England's second successive three-day triumph gives them an unassailable 3-1 lead in the series with one match to play.
The winning margin is all the more remarkable given it is only 19 months since England were on the receiving end of a 5-0 thrashing by the Australians down under.
England have now beaten Australia in four consecutive home series - their best sequence since 1896.
After skittling Australia for 60 runs on day one, England made 391-9 declared before reducing the tourists to 241-7 at the end of day two.
Stokes, whose five-wicket haul on Friday afternoon had taken England to the brink of glory, picked up where he left off with a wicket in his second over of the day as Mitchell Starc nicked a ball shaping away from him to Ian Bell at second slip.
Hazlewood survived nine balls, but barely saw his 10th as Wood yorker uprooted his middle stump.
And Wood delivered the final blow as he shot one through Lyon's defences to shatter the stumps and bring Australia's last remaining batsman to his knees.
The Durham bowler was mobbed by his ecstatic team-mates, who celebrated in a huddle before embarking on a lap of honour with the sounds of "Rule, Britannia" and "Land of Hope and Glory" ringing in their ears.
Australia captain Michael Clarke, meanwhile, announced he would be retiring from international cricket at the end of the series.
Jonathan Agnew: "The 2013 series win was an efficient win, achieved through dry, arid, featureless cricket. This has had a lot more - this has had flair."
Michael Vaughan: "Alastair Cook has led England with a real style in this series. He has put England in the right frame of mind to deliver their skills. This feels so much better than 2013. Australia were clear favourites, so this is an amazing achievement."
Graeme Swann: "It is an incredible feeling to win the Ashes. It really is a goose-bump moment. I was quite vehement that England would win this Ashes when I saw that the batting line-up that Australia were bringing was so similar to 2005, when they really struggled against the swinging ball."
Phil Tufnell: "I'm delighted for Alastair Cook. He's been through a bit, and he's come out the other side. English cricket has turned around."
Vic Marks: "I don't think I have ever been to a Test match where at 12.30 on the first day you thought it was over. Everything clicked for England."
Glenn McGrath: "Australia will make changes for The Oval. There will be a few guys left out and a few careers finished. You live and die by your performances."
England captain Alastair Cook: "I said I wouldn't cry but maybe I might at some stage. Someone told us to watch the Ashes from behind the sofa. From where we've been as a side over the last 18 months, we've stuck to what we believe was the right thing to do. The way the lads stepped up has been unbelievable."
Media playback is not supported on this device
Mark Wood: "I can't quite believe it. The summer couldn't have gone any better for me. To miss out at Edgbaston and then to be back here and take the winning wicket is an incredible feeling, one I'll never forget. I was still shaking in the dressing room half an hour later."
Stuart Broad: "Alastair Cook has stood up as a man and led from the front - he's a pleasure to play with, he's got such hunger for England to do well."
Five-time Ashes winner Ian Bell: "It's amazing. Performances from the whole group have been incredible. This win is right up there."
England came into the series as underdogs after winning just one of their previous five Test series.
But under the stewardship of Australian coach Trevor Bayliss and his assistant Paul Farbrace, they stunned the Australians with their new-found aggression and vigour.
After suffering a humiliating 405-run defeat as Australia squared the series at Lord's, England exploited seam-friendly conditions to maximum effect in successive three-day victories.
The victory gives Alastair Cook his second Ashes success a captain, while Ian Bell becomes the first England player since Sir Ian Botham to be part of five Ashes-winning teams.
The final Test at the Oval starts on Thursday, 20 August.

After hooking the India bowler for successive sixes, Broad tried to repeat the shot but top-edged the ball between the grille and peak of his helmet.
The 28-year-old Nottinghamshire player retired hurt to have his nose stitched and left the ground for an X-ray after tea, but he was not needed to bowl as England completed an innings victory.
After X-rays confirmed the fracture, Broad will be treated further over the course of the week and the England medical team anticipate he will be available for the fifth Test, which begins at The Oval on Friday.
Broad tweeted a picture of his injury on Sunday morning alongside the comment: "Little bit sore this morning but not too bad! Doc did a great job with the stitches. On to The Oval! (With a mask)."
England were bowled out for 367, a lead of 215 over the tourists, then bowled them out for 161 to win by an innings and 54 runs.
Broad took 6-25 on the first day of the match as India were skittled out for 152.
In his absence, Chris Woakes shared the new ball with James Anderson in India's second innings.

Question: Bournemouth chairman Jeff Mostyn is recovering at home after a "minor" heart operation.

The 71-year-old fell ill while attending a Premier League meeting in Harrogate earlier this month.
He was taken to a local hospital before being moved to a specialist unit in Middlesbrough, where he had surgery.
Mostyn was appointed Cherries chairman for a second time in September 2013 by Russian owner Max Demin, having previously held the role in 2007.
In a statement, the club said he wanted to thank "the Premier League and everyone at AFC Bournemouth for their support, assistance and best wishes" and also "the staff at the Acute Medical Unit at Harrogate District Hospital and the James Cook Hospital".
It added: "He is now looking forward to getting back to Vitality Stadium during the 2017-18 season."

The 53-year-old was due to have what he described as "simple and straightforward" surgery on Monday to relieve a "tightness of the arteries".
However, after extensive tests Allen was allowed to return home and will take first-team training on Thursday.
Barnet are 12th in the table, two points off the play-off places.
A statement on the club website said tests on Allen's condition are ongoing.

Question: Schools should put a greater emphasis on teaching digital technology - as millions of jobs could be swept away by automation, says former education secretary Lord Kenneth Baker.

Now chair of the Edge Foundation, Mr Baker says young people must be taught the skills for jobs of the future.
He warned that many white collar and professional jobs will be under threat from artificial intelligence.
"Jobs are being lost in professions we used to regard as careers for life."
Lord Baker has produced a report, the Digital Revolution, calling for the education system to respond to the way in which technological change will affect the future jobs market.
"The economy is changing at an unprecedented pace," he said.
"Artificial intelligence, robots, 3D printing and driverless vehicles will impact on sectors as varied as the legal profession, transport and construction."
Lord Baker, who heads the Edge charity, which promotes vocational education, says figures from the Bank of England show that automation could put 15 million jobs at risk.
But he warns that the provision of the necessary digital skills is "almost entirely absent from the core curriculum in mainstream schools".
The report calls for a stronger emphasis on work-related technical skills, linked to the impact of digital technology.
Try our calculator to see if your job is at risk of automation
Lord Baker says that schools should be able to teach computer science to GCSE, rather than modern languages, and wants at least half of all 16-year-olds to take the exam at that level.
He says that apprenticeships should be available from the age of 14, combining a "core academic curriculum with hands-on learning".
All primary schools should have 3D printers and design software, he says, and they should bring in outside experts to teach coding.
"We should not go back to a 19th Century diet of academic subjects for all. We need 21st Century education for a 21st Century economy," said Lord Baker.

The children, starting as young as six years old, come each week to this out-of-school private learning centre in Hong Kong.
They are getting lessons in computer coding not always available within Hong Kong's state schools, with parents paying extra for skills that they hope will keep up with a fast-moving digital industry.
Over the next hour-and-a-half, they are taught how to create characters for a simple mobile game, using "drag and drop" software.
"It's a form of coding," says Michelle Sun, the 28-year-old founder of this coding school, called First Code Academy.
"This way, the kids don't have to type as much. It's much more intuitive for them to learn the concepts and build a foundation."
Later they will begin to learn JavaScript, a programming language that underpins many internet applications.

She sometimes struggles to catch the attention of her young students, some of whom are glued to their screens.
The atmosphere in class is noisy, boisterous and interactive. But she has an easy rapport with the children.
Born and raised in Hong Kong, Ms Sun attended an elite girls' school, succeeding in the city's notoriously regimented, competitive education system.
She was then exposed to western influences, studying at the University of Chicago and then working in California, before returning home to start a coding school.
"When I was growing up, it was about taking in new knowledge and making sure we understand it in tests. But in the information age we are in now, the role of education is different," she says.
Her own experience in Silicon Valley convinced her that there were booming opportunities available to those with programming skills, especially for mobile software.
According to estimates from Juniper Research, the global market for mobile applications will more than double from $47.7bn (Â£30.8bn) in 2014 to $99bn (Â£64bn) in 2019.
Asia, bolstered by strong growth in China, is expected to account for more than half of that market.
Hong Kong is already one of the world's most wired cities. According to government figures, 85% of homes have access to broadband, and people own, on average, at least two mobile phones.
But the education system - while world class according to global tests -  has not been keeping pace with the speed of change in the digital age.
Computer literacy is commonly taught, but computer programming receives far less attention in classrooms, according to teachers.
A syllabus from the Education Bureau that sets out requirements for junior secondary school students in computer literacy was last updated in 1999.
It exposes students to educational programming which is now considered by many to be outdated.
The students at First Code come from families that can afford fees of between $775 to $1,300 per 12-week term, depending on the age of the child.
That is out of the reach of many people here, as the median monthly household income last year was about $3,000.
To bridge the digital divide, the Hong Kong government aims to make computer programming a required subject for students as young as 11 years old.
"What we want to do is to incorporate coding as a mandatory part of early secondary education so as to equip students for the future digital world," said Joey Lam, Hong Kong's deputy government chief information officer.
She declined to give a specific starting date, but said it would happen within a few years.
Other countries in the Asia Pacific region, including Australia and Singapore, are also working out when and how to start compulsory education in computer programming.
Last September, a new national curriculum was introduced in England, requiring students age five onwards to be taught the basics of programming.
Estonia had started the trend a few years earlier by introducing programming in primary schools.
In Hong Kong, private schools and study centres like First Code are filling in the gap.
As for the children who meet on Fridays, they may only be working on basic mobile games now, but they may in he long run be getting one step ahead of the game.

Question: Bank of England governor Mark Carney has robustly defended his stance on the UK's EU referendum debate and accused one of his prominent critics of trying to "undermine" the Bank's remit.

The comments came in testy exchanges during Mr Carney's evidence to the Treasury select committee.
Mr Carney was answering questions from Jacob Rees-Mogg, who favours Brexit.
He said the Bank had a responsibility to the British people "who don't want risks kept from them".
Earlier this month, the Bank of England gave its starkest warning yet that a UK vote to leave the EU could hit the economy.
Mr Carney warned that the risks of leaving "could possibly include a technical recession".
Vote Leave campaigners strongly criticised Mr Carney, with Mr Rees-Mogg calling for him to resign.
During the hearing, Mr Rees-Mogg argued that the Bank of England would not comment on opposition economic policy during a general election campaign, so should not comment on the effects of a UK departure from the EU during the referendum campaign.
How trade and the UK's economy are affected by membership of the EU.
He told the governor: "It's very convenient that you're giving out the same propaganda as the Chancellor [George Osborne]."
Mr Carney rejected the analogy, saying: "This is not a general election, Mr Rees-Mogg."
He went on to say: "We have a responsibility to discharge our remit and we have a wider responsibility to the British people, who don't want risks kept from them."
Mr Carney said the Bank's remit was to deliver "low, stable, predictable inflation".
"It may be inconvenient for you," he told Mr Rees-Mogg, "but we have made it more likely that we will bring inflation back to target, whatever the outcome of the referendum, sooner and more sustainably, and that will be a better economic outcome."
He continued: "To suggest otherwise is to try to undermine that."
Mr Rees-Mogg disputed Mr Carney's answer, saying: "I do suggest otherwise."
The governor replied: "And so you try to undermine that."

It means he will serve one year more than the five he had committed to, but will still be two short of the usual eight years governors serve.
Mr Carney said the move "recognised the importance to the country of continuity" during Brexit negotiations.
But Treasury Select Committee chairman Andrew Tyrie said his decision to serve six years "requires a good deal of examination and explanation".
Prime Minister Theresa May said Mr Carney's decision to stay for an extra year would provide "continuity and stability as we negotiate our exit from the European Union".
Mark Carney: the 'film star' Bank of England governor
May: Carney is 'right man for job'
Chancellor Philip Hammond also said he welcomed Mr Carney's decision to stay an additional year.
He said it would enable Mr Carney to continue his "highly effective leadership of the Bank through a critical period for the British economy as we negotiate our exit from the European Union".
Mr Carney had originally said he would announce his decision on whether he planned to continue until 2021 by the end of the year.
But with conflicting newspaper reports over how long he would stay on in the role, pressure was mounting on the governor to make a decision.
He said his decision to stay until 2019 "should help contribute to securing an orderly transition to the UK's new relationship with Europe".
Mr Tyrie said the "much needed clarification" over how long Mr Carney would stay at the helm of the Bank was welcome.
But he criticised the Treasury and Mr Carney for moving away from the original five-year term, but not adhering to the normal eight years that governors typically serve.
Earlier in the day, Mr Carney had an almost two-hour meeting with Mrs May, after which a spokeswoman said the prime minister would be "supportive of him going on beyond his five years" and "absolutely" believed he was "the right man for the job".
Mr Carney told a House of Lords committee last week that should he decide to go before 2021, it would be an "entirely personal decision".
Canadian Mr Carney has a wife and four daughters, who moved to London with him in 2013.
The Financial Times had earlier suggested Mr Carney wanted to stay on to defend the Bank of England's independence against attacks from pro-Brexit campaigners.
They have argued that the Bank produced deliberately gloomy economic forecasts to support the Remain campaign.
Conservative MEP Daniel Hannan, a prominent pro-Brexit campaigner, had suggested Mr Carney should leave his post.
"If he does stay, it's got to be on the basis that he's not the rock star banker who presumes to tell Scotland whether to stay and Britain which way to vote, but rather sticks narrowly to his brief," Mr Hannan told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
However, Dame Kate Barker, a member of the Bank's Monetary Policy Committee between 2001 and 2010, told BBC 5 live that criticism of Mr Carney was not justified.
"I certainly don't think he's been particularly political," she said.
"The criticism, which is mostly around the Bank saying what it thought might happen if we come out of the EU, is really overstated.
"The Bank had to say what it thought might happen."

Question: India has more than 20 million people with physical or learning disabilities and many of them live in poverty because they lack access to education and employment.

Represent the news article to find a single sentence that could be used as a summary.

23 January 2016 Last updated at 00:19 GMT
But negative attitudes towards disabled people, at least in the corporate world, are slowly beginning to change.
We hear from three employees with disabilities at India's Lemon Tree Hotels.
The group has hired people with speech and hearing impairments, physical disabilities and Down's syndrome in all 27 of its hotels across India.
It has also made sign language compulsory for all its employees.

"Sometimes I can't believe how independent I have become and how easily I can get by on my own."
Ten years ago, back in Iran, Marjan broke her back in an accident and now she relies on crutches and a mobility scooter to get around.
As she weaves in and out of the crowds on a busy London street, she reflects on how much harder it was for her to live with her disability back home in Iran.
"I used to wake up in the morning in Tehran thinking about what a huge challenge it was going to be trying to get somewhere, she tells BBC Persian.
"Some days I would tell myself that I'd be better off dead."
There are around three million people in Iran living with "acute" physical and mental disabilities, according to figures quoted by the country's Minister of Labour and Social Welfare Ali Rabiei in a speech in 2014.
Of these as many as 700,000 are under 25 and another 400,000 are veterans of the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s.
But campaigners for disabled rights say the number of Iranians living with less severe disabilities could be as high as 10 million.
Despite the statistics it's still relatively uncommon to see people with disabilities out and about on the streets.
"I wrote my PhD thesis on understanding barriers to disabled accessibility," says Shireen, from Isfahan in central Iran, who called a BBC Persian phone-in programme on disability recently.
"I came to the conclusion that the biggest obstacle for disabled people in my city was steps and stairs."
In 2014 Iran signed up to the recommendations of a UN review of its disability provisions.
Led by Kuwait, Sri Lanka and Indonesia, the review called for better state support for people with disabilities, more integration, awareness and improved access to education.
Disability campaigners say they are happy the state recognises its responsibility towards people with disabilities, but they question whether Iran will fulfil all the requirements by the next review in 2018.
Even in the capital, Tehran, it is clear there is still a long way to go.
Few public buildings are fully accessible and it is rare to see ramps, lifts, wheelchair-accessible public transport or disabled parking spots and toilets.
In March 2015, the government allocated $5m (Â£3.25m) to make Tehran's roads and pavements easier and safer for disabled people to use.
Mohammad, who runs a disability support group in the city, contacted BBC Persian to say he was unimpressed with the results so far.
The Tehran Metro was recently lambasted by the head of the capital's Society for the Protection of People with Disabilities, Ali Hemmat Mahmoudnejad, for its lack of disabled access.
He also criticized local train services for failing to provide lifts, designated areas on trains, and discounted tickets for passengers with disabilities.
Access to education is another challenge.
At Iran's State Welfare Organisation there is clearly a new recognition of the vital role of education in integrating disabled Iranians into society.
An official recently announced to the media that the state now pays 90% of university tuition fees for people with disabilities.
And many are benefitting from this.
Hadi, from West Azerbaijan province contacted the BBC to share his story.
He lost both hands and an eye at the age of 15 when he stepped on a land mine on the family farm.
He has just enrolled in college to do a degree in Family Studies.
"I had confined myself to home for eight years, he said.
"But then I realised that by becoming a recluse I was only promoting the patronising attitude of the public towards people like me."
But while progress is being made with higher education, there are still major concerns, which have been highlighted by the UN Children's Fund, UNICEF, about how few disabled children are going to primary school in Iran.
It's an issue only too familiar to Marjan, who has spent time in Iran volunteering with disabled children.
"In the UK, even a six or seven year-old knows how they should look at me. Because they already have disabled classmates at school," she says.
"In Iran, children with disabilities don't go to school!"
For those who do manage to get degrees the next problem is finding a job.
The Iranian government says all organisations that receive state funding must hire 3% of their workforce from the disabled population.
But there are no statistics to indicate whether these quotas are fulfilled.
It is also not clear exactly how many disabled Iranians are currently in work.
Many complain that they are excluded by the general health tests carried out by employers.
Some estimate that unemployment rates for the disabled are three times higher than the national average, with as many as 40% out of work.
There are eight guiding principles that underline the Convention:
But for people like Marjan, the biggest barrier of all is the lack of social acceptance.
"Iranians aren't used to seeing disabled people on the street and when they see them, they don't treat them well," she told the BBC.
People from traditional, conservative backgrounds, still see disability as a religious affliction that can be cured though prayer.
"One of the most upsetting things that could happen is the glancesâ€¦People looking at you and saying 'May God restore your health and heal you'," says Marjan.
"These comments make you feel like the entire world is crashing down on your head."
But more Iranians are now prepared to speak out and challenge attitudes like this.
Iran now has more than 200 non-governmental organisations supporting disabled people and campaigning for their rights.
For Marjan it's a sign things are slowly beginning to change.
