Heathrow Primary School

Year 1

Autumn

In this unit, pupils learn basic programming ideas through experimenting and solving problems with simple, programmable robots, such as the Blue-Bot. They will take on the role of a robot, responding to instructions they are given. Year 1 will take on the role of a robot-pirate to work out a sequence of instructions (an algorithm) to find their way to an objective. We will explore the Blue-Bot controls. Year 1 will follow, create and test sequences of instructions to solve problems with the Blue-Bot and predict what the Blue-Bot will do when given different sequences of instructions.
