Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify sequences of inputs required to make different outputs using a programmable toy, a vocabulary word bank to help record the functions of different inputs when buttons are pressed on a programmable toy and a template to list sequences of inputs to control the movement of a programmable toy.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to devise a sequence of instructions to command a programmable toy around a route.

This lesson is part of a computing scheme of work to get the children to select and record sequences of instructions that can be used to control and move a programmable toy along  and around different routes. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
