Programming to coding

Developing early programming skills

Children in the nursery are exploring the use of BeeBot. The activities support children in learning computing skills and applying computational thinking. Using BeeBot will help children to engage in open-ended problems which require the use of predicting, modelling and later algorithms.

This half term, we have been coding. From controlling Bee-Bots in early years and progressing to the Angry Birds App in Year 1 and 2, experiencing block based coding in years 3 and 4 in “Scratch”, right through to experiencing language based coding in year 5 and 6 with “Swift Playgrounds.”
