Today Primary 1 were thinking about how to write a code to program a toy. We looked at a battery operated toy and talked about how we could get it to move, for example pressing different buttons to make it walk or stop.<\/p>\n

Task 1<\/p>\n

We \u00a0did a robot dance activity \u00a0which involved us moving like a robot by following a set of instructions. \"\"<\/p>\n

Task 2
\nWe talked about how these instructions could be shown as symbols, an arrow for moving forward and a round arrow for turning (a quarter turn). Mrs Collins arranged the symbols into a \u201ccode\u201d for us to follow.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Task 3<\/p>\n

Mrs Collins had laid out different pathways for the wheeled toys to follow. We had to match the correct sequence of symbols to it\u2019s matching pathway.

\"\"<\/p>\n

Task 4<\/p>\n

Mrs Collins then \u201ccleared\u201d her codes and we had to write our own ones. We tested them with a partner to see if we could write a code that took you from the start to the end.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Task 5<\/p>\n

To finish the afternoon we had some fun, using what we had been learning to program the Beebots to move around the classroom. We had to work nicely with a partner sharing and taking turns.
