Year 1 have been learning learning all about coding for the last few weeks. We know that coding is when we use a program to help us build a set of instructions that will move an object on the screen. We talked about how different objects already have codes in them to help complete tasks e.g. a toaster has instructions to ensure your toast is cooked perfectly every time. In the same way we can create a code so that an object on the screen will move.
After our discussion, we went down to the computer room and had a go at the coding game ‘Puppy Adventure’. This game allows us to build a code so that a lost puppy can find its way home again. We loved this game! Some of us even reached really high levels in the game. It was nice to see everyone getting excited for their classmates when someone reached a high score, and also helping each other out when someone was stuck on a level!
