Today, working in small groups, the pupils were set a challenge of deciding what instructions they needed to follow from their starting point to the treasure. They could only use the words forwards, backwards, left or right! The children then recorded their instructions and all together we checked if their instructions worked (one being the programmer and the other being the robot-pirate).
The children then worked in pairs to record their own instructions, moving a counter from the starting position to the final position on their treasure map.
