SNIPPETS FROM THE AP - MRS SOPHIE DENISON

Our Stage 1 students have been having an exciting time exploring the world of coding! They started with a fun and engaging activity—using a "make a sandwich" code. This simple exercise introduced them to the concept of giving step-by-step instructions, much like how a computer follows commands. By sequencing actions such as "spread butter," "place lettuce," and "add tomato," students learned how to organize instructions clearly and logically.

Over the last two weeks, students have been working closely with Mr. Sandral, following a structured learning sequence designed to equip them with foundational coding skills. Building on their understanding from the sandwich activity, students then transfered their skills to using Bee Bots. These friendly robots allowed them to program step-by-step instructions to navigate around obstacles, further enhancing their problem-solving abilities. It’s been fantastic to see their skills grow in such a hands-on way, and we can’t wait to see how they continue to evolve their coding expertise!
