We talked about the range of computing technology all around us and could give lots of examples.

We ‘programmed’ a friend using the commands ‘forwards, back, turn right, turn left’ to instruct them to get from one place in the classroom to another. We understood that the commands need to be accurate for our friend to end up where we want them!

 

 

 

 

 

We used arrow symbols for the instructions too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We then enjoyed playing with the beebots exploring how to make them move from one place on the mat to another. Our amazing school ‘digital leaders’ were there to support and encourage us.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We then had a go at following a program to work out where the beebot ends up!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Writing a program instructing the robot from one place to another was more tricky! But we had a go!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We loved making our own beebot mats in groups!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We also used the ipads using Scratch Junior to develop our programming skills.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A great big thank you to our digital leaders for being so supportive and helpful!

Well done P1a!
