In Computing, Year 1 have been working together brilliantly to create their first basic algorithm. In this lesson, they explored the school grounds looking for sticks, leaves and twigs so that they could build a den for their Bee-bot. Once they had created a comfortable home they decided on and tested the instructions needed to programme the Bee-bot to allow it to leave its home. It then had to visit a local shop, which they decided they would represented by a large leaf, wait for 5 seconds and then return home to it’s den without knocking it over. They had great fun working together as team, exploring and testing their knowledge of directional language, in particular 90oc and left and right, and early programming. It was great to see them learning so much through play!
