Year 5 have been exploring Physical Programming by learning to programme a mini computer called a micro:bit, using the Microsoft MakeCode editor.
The children learnt to use block coding to programme an algorithm, using the input of the micro:bit’s accelerometer (on shake) and an ‘if/else’ logic block to select at random whether a rock, paper or scissors would be shown.
They really enjoyed downloading their finished codes onto the micro:bits and playing against one another!
