Position and Orientation learning

In Room 8 we have been learning about being a programmer for Robots. We have been writing instructions such as F for forward 1 space, B for backwards 1 space, L for 1/4 left turn, R for 1/4 right turn and E for end.

We have had a lot of fun given instructions and learning about why it is important to be specific.
Here are some photos of students giving instructions to each other.

Room 9 Math Work

We have been exploring movement and direction concepts in the context of programming a robot to move. They have begun developing sets of instructions to accomplish tasks, focusing on the use of right, left, forward, backwards and quarter turns.

Today we worked in pairs using codes we have been learning to create a set of instructions for each other to explore by being the robot. We got to see in action the difference between movement and direction.

Pictured below is Mackenzie instructing robot Lucy to successfully end up at her chosen treasure point.

We went on a hexagon hunt. We found that the budgie netting is made from lots of hexagons.

We were going to look inside the neighbours bee hive too.

And we looked at the school map again.
