This week's activity continues to use a fakebot (a printed or drawn Beebot) to create numbers. 
Many of the concepts and approaches built into this lesson support computational thinking (problem solving):
• They use decomposition to break down the numerals into sections, making it easier to write the...

The main objective of this session is to understand what debugging and logical reasoning is, by using a 2D drawing and algorithm...

This session introduces you to converting denary or base 10 numbers to binary digits and back again. It consists of two files, a set of slides explaining how binary conversions work and a worksheet.

1. Read the slides in Slides - Binary Digits about binary digits. Make sure you are clear on how the values...

In this activity children will consider the personal information that might be appropriate to provide to a given person.  

In this session you and your child will be looking at an online safety story created by Childnet International for 3 to 7 year olds. You will join in with Mummy Penguin’s song and follow the adventures of Smartie the Penguin as he learns how to be safe on the internet. You will find a range of resources and...

In this session you will look at how images are made on computers using picture elements or, more commonly known as, pixels. If you have access to a computer you can follow the computer based activity. If you do not then you can follow the unplugged activity. Either way you will begin a journey into understanding...

This week we continue to use a fakebot and review the terms ‘algorithm’ (a set of steps, instructions or rules) and ‘debugging’ (fixing an error) as the children learn to create instructions for a programmable device. We make the fakebot travel around shapes and then stars.

Please see the session plan for...

This is a short session looking at the structure of pixels in a digital image. It will help you understand how the number of bits used per pixel determines the number of colours that are available.

1. Open the Information document and read through the information about digital images. Look at how using...

The main objective of this session is to understand what logical reasoning is in context, by using a mathematics sequence activity...

In this activity children will increase their personal security online in this session through recognising and creating strong and...

This week your child/ren will learn how to:...

In this session your child will be introduced to the film clip the next three sessions will be based around.
