In ICT the children have been working with the Roamers (floor robots) and have created simple programs to make the Roamers move. They have also been using the computer to write programs to draw shapes, such as, squares, rectangles and triangles. A simple program for a square would be:- fd 1, rt 90,
fd 1, rt 90,
fd 1, rt 90,
fd 1, rt 90.
As you can see, this topic supports their numeracy lessons on shape and also introduces the concept of degrees/angles.
The photos show the children working with Roamers during an activity session where they played games and attempted different challenges on mats.
