Year Two have been starting their exciting computing journey by learning all about algorithms 🤖✨. The children followed a set of instructions to draw a house 🏠, before working in pairs to give clear instructions to help their partner draw a picture.

We talked about which words are helpful when giving instructions, including direction, size, and position words 📏⬆️⬇️. The classroom then turned into a robot zone as we became human robots 🤖! Children gave their partners a set of instructions to move around the room, using directional language such as left, right, turn, move, forwards, and backwards.

Next, we began creating a sequence of instructions and used the word “go” ▶️ to show when the algorithm was complete. The children will use these skills soon when coding with our Bee-Bots 🐝💛.
