Input Discuss that today we are looking at algorithms. Watch BBC Bitesize on algorithms.

Discuss what is an algorithm? Teacher to write a sentence about what an algorithm is and children to copy this sentence in books. Main Explain that they are going to create an algorithm (set of instructions) for a bee bot to move. Some on the IPads and some using real Bee Bots. (To be done in pairs or small groups)

LA: To work with lead learners.
