In Computing today, the children have been learning about instructions and sequencing those instructions. They enjoyed giving their robot partners instructions to get to the X on the ground. Then they attempted to make the Beebots move around to make a square. By the...
We were very excited to begin our Robot Programming unit in computing. We practiced giving instructions to our robot partners to see if they could move around the glue stick without knocking it over. Then, we had a look at the real robots we will be using this half...

In Year 4, we're learning how to program a screen turtle to make repeated patterns and shapes - we're still learning how to do it but check out our early work. You can see the algorithms (that's computer speak for instructions!) next to the letters we've drawn !
We've had great success in starting our programming unit with Scratch Junior. The children have been making their sprites moves in all sorts of ways and can confidently tell you below what the blocks mean. Just press play.
