Please see the session plan for further guidance. 

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...

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 final activity allows your child/ren to create their own fakebot mat. This activity brings together the vocabulary and skills from the last three lessons whilst having lots of fun, commanding the fakebot to complete various challenges.
