P2/3 Directions

The Circles and Triangles have been programming the beebots to travel about their grid to find treasure.

The Rectangles and Squares have been looking at developing their directions by using the terms clockwise, anti-clockwise, 1/2 and 1/4 turns. They created their own Lego town and then wrote directions to direct each other to different locations.

P2/3 – Positional Language

Last week we began to learn about positional language and how important knowing these words were.  We came up with a list of important words.  Here are some we thought of: left, right, forward, backwards, beside, under, on.

Today, P2/3 came up with long list of jobs in which people need to use positional language. Here are a few examples, police officers, ambulance drivers, nurses, doctors, pilots, taxi and bus drivers.

We have been using positional language to direct each other in the playground to different coloured markers, to find objects on a treasure map with the help of Lego figures to help with left and right and becoming familiar with using the Beebots.
