Coding in P3/4 💻

19th Sep 2025

This week is coding week and P3/4 have been learning to create algorithms using the Chromebooks and BeeBots. Today the children had four coding stations to complete with their group. Station one involved the children creating an algorithm to make the BeeBot dance, at station two the children used the Chromebooks to play a treasure hunting game that involved directing a character around different settings to find the treasure. The children had to work as a team at station 3 to make the BeeBot travel around the mat to find different shapes and at station 4 the children had to follow the code to find different autumnal items. The children had great fun with these activities and worked well together demonstrating their skills at coding. Well done everyone!
