Algorithms, sequencing and de-bugging in year 1!

During their Computing lessons, year 1 have been learning about Algorithms. An algorithm is a precise sequence of instructions that humans and computers follow to complete tasks. The children had great fun chalking out their mazes in the playground and then giving their friends a precise sequence of instructions to get through their maze.  If they got their instructions wrong, they then had to ‘de-bug’ their Algorithm.

You can see in the photos that the children created some fantastic colourful mazes and had great fun.
