Today, 1 Oxford had a fantastic day at Bolton Schools ICT! We were very excited to explore and take part in lots of fun technology activities, all based around our Computer Science key word \u2014 \u201calgorithm.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We started the day with some unplugged activities. We followed an algorithm to draw a monster, then we created our own monster with an algorithm for our friends to follow and we even used an algorithm to make a jam sandwich\u2026 yum! It was great fun learning how important it is to follow instructions carefully and in the correct order. We also followed the teacher\u2019s algorithm to create our very own litter pickers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Mrs Lyons, we programmed Bee-Bots, moving them around using algorithms to reach different destinations. It was amazing to see how our instructions made the robots move!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, we created algorithms for the Loti Bots, using different tiled pieces to build patterns and sequences. We had to think carefully about the steps needed to make our designs work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also had lots of fun moving remote control cars around a track and even guiding remote control cars under a bridge \u2014 it took great teamwork and control!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
