We started the lesson by learning positional language such as forward, backwards, clockwise, anti-clockwise, quarter turn, half turn and full turn. We also recapped our learning on compass points by recalled the saying, “Naughty Elephants Squirt Water”.
Can you make up your own pneumonic to help you remember?
We then directed each other around the room to travel from 'Earth' to 'Space'.
After this, we drew our own space maps on a grid by drawing our favourite space objects and planets. We then input directions into our Beebot to direct it from start to finish.
Finally, we wrote instructions and challenged our friends to follow them!
