For Numeracy this week we have been looking at compass directions.
We have worked on reading maps using the 8 main directions - North, South, East, West, North-East, South-East, North-West and South-West and then we moved onto using Bee bots and our knowledge of compass directions to get a Bee bot through the grid to various locations.

We had to programme the Bee bot with our own algorithm, using forwards,
backwards, turn right, turn left and N, S, E, W. It was important that we regularly
tested our algorithm to check we didn’t need to dee-bug (find a problem and
fix it).

Here is an example of my algorithm:
Have you ever written an algorithm for something? Have you ever had to use
a compass for something?
