Background

We already have a couple of BeeBots in school but they are not greatly used by classes.  We decided to borrow extra to allow them to be used as a whole class resource and so increase staff and pupil awareness of how they could be used.

How ICT supported learning and teaching

The BeeBots provided a huge motivation for the children and encouraged them to engage with the tasks given.  They meant that the children were active in their learning, which in most classes linked to maths.  They gave the children great opportunity to develop talking and listening skills, group work and problem solving skills.

Impact/Conclusion

An enthusiastic response from staff and pupils throughout the school. They added a new dimension to the maths programme and encouraged the use of mathematical language in the children.  We are already seeing greater use of the BeeBots that we have in school and are hoping to order more to enhance our ICT provision.
