Last month we spent a lot of time investigating different aspects of Bray, including; origins, place names and elements which have been changed. We explored features of old buildings in Bray and used Google Classroom to help us begin our project. Ms. Mulcahy sent us a link which led us to an amazing website which […]
The past few weeks we have been working on developing our understanding of sequencing, computational thinking and the mathematical concepts of coordinates, distance, and location. We we began our Beebot stations by reviewing forwards, backwards, left and right movements by playing a blindfold game. We reviewed all of the new language which we had learnt […]
This week we learnt how to code a Beebot. We had worked hard learning how to code a human bot and writing algorithm’s and now it was our chance to write some codes for the Beebot. We discussed how the sequence of instructions was important as they help us to know what to do and […]
Ms. Keane’s class have been learning a little bit about basic programming. They have been programming BeeBots, which are exciting little robots designed for use by young children. The Beebots are a perfect tool for teaching counting, sequencing, estimation, problem-solving, and just having fun! The children practiced using directional language such as forward, backward, left […]
