About this unit

In this unit children learn how to create, test, modify and store instructions to control the movements of a floor turtle. They learn to program the floor turtle to move around an area by using single instructions, a sequence of instructions and repeated sequences.

The unit will develop children's understanding of programmed devices used outside school.

Children should be able to apply what they have learnt in this unit when: creating and using maps in geography; working with shape and space in mathematics; and using devices in design and technology.
