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.
SPRING
In this unit, pupils use the Brushes Redux and Autodesk SketchBook apps on iPads to create paintings inspired by the work of famous artists. They will create work based on Rothko’s work, create work based on Kandinsky’s Squares with Concentric Circles, create work based on Picasso’s Dove of Peace, create work based on Matisse’s The Snail, create work based on Julian Opie’s outline style and create work based on Mondrian’s grid paintings.
