Computing

This week we have been learning about algorithms.

Did you know that an algorithm is the set of instructions we put into a computer for it to complete the work we want to do. 

We did some different activities following sets of instructions.

We completed a drawing activity, following the instructions Mrs Blackburn read from a book.

We did a number formation activity, following the instruction poems Mrs Pratley read to us.

We also built creations using Lego, following the instructions of our partners.

Maths

We have begun learning about mass and whether things are lighter or heavier. We found things around the room and determined whether they were lighter, heavier or the same.
