2S Computing

Lesson: Information and communication technology

We loved our first computing lesson of this term even though we didn't use the iPads. Our new topic is 'Programming' and learning about algorithms. This lesson we learned that algorithms are like a set of instructions that we give to devices like computers and iPads to make them do what we want.

We began our lesson by Mrs Simmons reading out a set of instructions to draw a simple picture.  We then compared our pictures to see who had followed the instructions well.  It was so much fun, we followed a few more set of instructions to draw other simple pictures.

After that, we paired up. One of us was the robot and the other was the person to give instructions.  The robot had to do exactly what the other person instructed.
