Bee Bots on the move!

In ICT we have been learning to input instructions into programmable toys. We have used mathematical vocabulary to plan and describe a journey.
We imagined the Bee Bots were fire engines and designed routes for them to travel to reach a fire. We had to continually check our instructions until they worked perfectly.





When we were sure we were ready we invited year five down with  the challenge
'Can you program the Fire engine to reach the fire?'
Here they are at work.


 

We did laugh when some of the Bee Bots went clockwise instead of anticlockwise!!
They all got there in the end!
Thanks Year 5....... We had fun!
