Coding with Beebots @RRIS
This half term the Digital Leaders have been leading sessions writing algorithms for Beebots. They have been using direction cards to write out the algorithm before keying this into the Beebot. As the Beebot moves they have been checking that the algorithm is correct and identifying any place where there is a bug. They set … Continue reading
Trialling Coding Websites @RRIS
This week the Digital Leaders tried out some coding websites. First of all we looked at the free j2e turtle tool and programmed each of the different sprites on the 7 different template backgrounds. There were some surprises when you landed in certain squares. Next we explored the Beebot Emulator and were surprised how much … Continue reading
Helping in Year 1 @RRIS
This week some of the Digital Leaders visited a Year 1 class to see how they were getting on with the Bee Bots! They were most impressed how much the children knew and took the opportunity to pass on some tips 🙂

The … Continue reading
Debugging with Blue-Bots @RRIS
This week the Digital Leaders have been supporting children in their own class with using our new Blue-Bots to write and debug algorithms. We used cards to write the algorithm and followed the steps as the Bluebot moved to check for bugs. We then programmed the Blue-Bots again when we found a bug. Some children managed … Continue reading

Supporting Reception with Beebots @RRIS
Some Reception children joined us this week to find out all about Beebots and how to program them. They worked on a one-to-one basis with a Digital leader and by the end of the session were ready to go back and show their own class. “It was a double thumbs up session – I loved … Continue reading
Designing Beebot Jackets @RRIS
This week we have been designing jackets for the beebots! We used Textease paint and added clipart to the templates – we think they look great and know that everyone is going to love them. “It was quite hard colouring them in on the computer and not go outside the lines.” Max “Once I had … Continue reading
