What were we learning?
To learn how to use an algorithm.
How would we know if we were successful?
- We would be able to follow an algorithm set by Miss McLaughlin.
- We would be able to ‘de-bug’ an algorithm that didn’t quite work.
- We would be able to write algorithms of our own for a partner to try.
What did we do?
- We followed Miss McLaughlin’s algorithm for drawing a monster but unfortunately, our monsters did not match hers!
- We talked about why this might be – her algorithm wasn’t detailed enough! We fixed it together by adding key words like ‘short’ and ‘tiny’.
- We then tried writing algorithms for our own monsters and gave them to different partners for them to try. We talked about what we might need to ‘de-bug’ for next time.
Primary 3 also have been issued Listening & Talking homework – a letter went home in your child’s bag on Friday. Information is also below – if there are any issues/questions, please let Miss McLaughlin know!
Until next time…
Primary 3 & Miss M 🙂
