Summer 2

This half term we will be introduced to the micro:bit.

We will learn how variables and inputs can be used on the micro:bit to create a sports counter. We will:

• Understand how variables and inputs can be used on the micro:bit to create a sports counter
• Create an algorithm for a sports counter, and code, run and evaluate the use of the micro:bit to count activities

We will then create a countdown timer on the micro:bit using variables. We will:

• Evaluate the effectiveness of the LED display on the micro:bit when used as a timer
• Modify a program using true and false statements and an ‘if.. else’ command
• Create an activity competition using a micro:bit counter and a micro:bit countdown timer

The children are taught e- safety skills every lesson, reminded of how to stay safe and who to go to should they need help.
