This Computing video supports teachers in delivering a cross-curricular lesson where pupils combine programming with storytelling. By using a story structure, children are given a context for programming the Bee-Bot, which helps engage those who might be less motivated by coding alone.
year: Year 1
Teacher video: Bee-Bot world
This Computing video supports teachers in delivering a creative and accessible lesson in which pupils design and programme their own Bee-Bot maps. Children are encouraged to personalise their Bee-Bot worlds, helping them see computing as a creative subject where ideas can be expressed in different ways.
Teacher video: Precise instructions
This Computing video supports teachers in delivering an unplugged activity that helps children develop a deeper understanding of algorithms and programming. By physically acting out commands, pupils begin to grasp how a Bee-Bot responds only to the exact instructions it is given. One child plays the role of the controller, while another becomes the Bee-Bot, following one command at a time such as “Clear, Forward, Go.”
