Computing- Programming the Beebots
Keep calm and move a quarter turn to the right
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...
Robots Have Landed!
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...
Year 4 and the Mrs Mitchell Challenge!
As you might know, we've been doing programming in Year 4 using Logo. We'd been doing rather well but then hit a problem about making shapes repeat, so we turned to our Computing guru, Mrs Mitchell! She gave us a tip and check out our great results when we used the...
Programming in Year 4!
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 !
Don’t adjust your set- 1.2M are programming
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.
