On Thursdays, I spend time in the 3/4 and 5/6 classrooms teaching "Science and Technology". 

As part of the Digital Technology curriculum, I have spent the first two weeks of Term introducing the notion of coding, used in all computer programs, apps and artificial intelligence. 

There has been a lot of laughter as I asked students to program "Robyn the Robot" (me!) to make a Vegemite sandwich - students began to understand how important it is to make their coding instructions very specific!

The students have then turned their attention to coding Bee-bots to spell their name, or a secret word, on a large ABC mat and then to write algorithms to get their Bee-Bot through a maze.

We next move into an introduction to the Science Curriculum.

I hope your children have been enjoying our time together - I certainly have!
