Computing: From here to there!

Watch the presentation below. Today, you are going to create an algorithm to move a toy or figure from one place to another. Ask a friend or family member to check your algorithm and debug your mistakes.

Choose the map of the School or the farm in Teams, decide where you want your character to start from and where you want them to get to. Write your algorithm in your Home Learning Book.  

Daily Reading

You must read your reading book every day, just as we do in school. We do this after lunch but you can do it whenever you like! An adult must sign your diary to show this has taken place. You can of course read some of your own books at home to supplement reading. It would be great if this could be recorded in your diary too.
