Three Bears - Coding Adventure

The Warren Mead Parents and Friends Association Association

Open in-person activity

Warren Mead Infant and Junior School, Partridge Mead
SM7 1LS Surrey

The content which will be delivered will be the design, writing and debugging of programs that accomplish specific goals, including controlling or simulating physical systems; solve problems by decomposing them into smaller parts. Pupils will use sequence, selection and repetition in programs; work with variables and various forms of input and output. Finally, the students will use logical reasoning to explain how some simple algorithms work and to detect and correct errors in algorithms and programs. The method will be an in-person pantomime called the 'Three Bears Coding Adventure' and supplemented by resources for use by teachers to prepare the class for the pantomime. Working together with ‘Professor’ Trice and AL the Robot, the children will learn to design, write, test and debug algorithms in this unique adventure related to the fairy tale 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears'. We will deliver a bespoke session for Year 6, which is comprised of 60 children aged 10-11. We serve children from an area within our catchment which has an Index of Multiple Deprivation of 3, which means that it falls within the top 30% of deprived wards in the UK. This means that the target group for this coding project will be from socially disadvantaged girls and boys who are studying at Warren Mead Infant and Junior School. What makes this special is that we've never done it before! A £400 grant would be fantastic and would really help our young people, and the future generation of tomorrow, understand how coding works in practice - and not just by playing minecraft!
