Coders of the future 🖥️ #bessacarrcomputing

We enjoyed our learning using count-controlled loops to draw shapes within Scratch. #bessacarrcomputing

Further coding - programming a Crumble to respond to an input. #bessacarrcomputing

This week we are focusing on using a touchpad to navigate a laptop. #bessacarrcomputing

In computing, we connected a Sparkle and a motor to the Crumble controller and used count-controlled loops for repetition. 🟢🔵🔴🟡👩‍💻🧑‍💻#bessacarrcomputing

During computing today, we used all our learned skills of repetition in scratch to create our own games with a specific purpose and concept to follow. We explained our algorithms and completed any debugging needed! We even had a scoring system! #bessacarrcomputing 💻

We have started our new computing unit today, programming on scratch. Luckily, we have some experts amongst us in the form of coding club members! #bessacarrcomputing

Working in partners to write an algorithm #bessacarrcomputing

Using QR codes to listen to our chosen story. #bessacarrcomputing

Today, we learned how to copy, paste and undo on the laptops in an efficient way! We then used these skills when on Google drawings to create vector drawings. We also learned how to rotate and resize the objects of our drawings. #bessacarrcomputing

Today, 5M used their plans to record and edit their adverts for the Christmas Fair! We used iMovie to edit our videos to give them a professional finish and then uploaded them onto seesaw. As you can see, we really got into the Christmas spirit. #bessacarrcomputing

Our new computing sequence is 'Digital Writing'. 📝💻#bessacarrcomputing

We created an algorithm and program to make the dancer move and the light flash. 🕺🚦🟢🟡🔵🔴 #bessacarrcomputing

Y5 have started a new unit in physical computing - exploring Crumble programming. In the first lesson, we learnt how to connect the microcontroller to a Sparkle (an LED). We had fun programming the Sparkle to flash different colours. 🔴🟢🟡🔵#bessacarrcomputing

Today RT have been creating digital images using painting software. We have been learning how to change colour, size and transparency to create polar bears with a northern light background. #bessacarrcomputing #bpscomputing

Algorithms and debugging today in our computing lesson #bessacarrcomputing

I’m computing we are looking at coding and using the iPad to search for African animals to draw. #bessacarrcomputing

Using different coding equipment, the computer to design an African collar, and an iPad to read a QR code and listen to a story. #bessacarrcomputing

What a great computing lesson we had on Friday! We used our science knowledge to write a fact file about mammals. Here we are in action! 💻 #bessacarrcomputing

#bessacarrcomputing Continuing our digital writing sequence by writing a missing poster for a lost toy. Next week, we are adding more information and an image, using copy and paste. 💻
