Year 1 Explore Coding with Beebots!
In computing, Year 1 explored coding and debugging using Beebots. The children had to give the robots precise instructions to make them move exactly where they wanted. Along the way, they made lots of marvellous mistakes and learned the importance of debugging before giving the next instruction. This hands-on activity helped develop problem-solving skills, logical thinking, and perseverance.
