Students will learn about coding concepts such as sequencing and algorithms by creating a "program" to light up a Christmas tree with a specific pattern of colours. This activity promotes logical thinking and understanding of how to create and follow step-by-step instructions.
STEPS:
1) Students will be given a coding key that assigns each colour of the "Christmas light" a specific number or symbol. For example:
Red = ♥
Green = ☘
Blue = ❄
Yellow = ★
Students will be shown how each colour is represented by a symbol, and get informed that they will create a sequence of instructions (an algorithm) to "light up" the Christmas tree in a specific pattern. The goal is for students to "program" a Christmas tree by placing the colored lights (using coloured paper circles) in a specific order according to the code they create.
2) Students decide on a pattern of lights for their tree. They will write the sequence using the symbols from the coding key.
3) After writing their code, students will follow the sequence to place the coloured paper lights on a cardboard tree outline, gluing them in the order specified by their code.
4) Once the students have placed all their lights, they are asked to check if their Christmas tree matches the code they wrote. This helps them understand the concept of "debugging" or fixing mistakes in their code. If the light pattern doesn't match the original code, students should find where they made a mistake and correct it. They can rewrite the code and adjust the coloured lights on the tree accordingly.

EDL.BULLYING STOPS HERE
Wed, Oct 2, 2024 8:16 PM
Bullying Stops Here is a Codeweek joint project that unites students and educators from various European countries to promote safer and more inclusive school environments. This iniciative will include interactive workshops, creative activities and awarness campaign that foster empathy, respect and kindness. By encouraging cross-cultural understanding and collaboration, we aim to empower students to stand up against bullying and build a supportive community where everyone feels safe and valued. Our first activity consists in composing the different parts of a wider puzzle with european flags representing the different languages and participants on this project uited on Codeweek platform. Other activites consist in using and increasing the tech knowledge among my students. We need this project to be approved, as it is already done for my colleagues participants on this project, so I can join and start the programmed activities.
Dress up the snowman
Wed, Jan 8, 2025 8:00 AM
Τον Ιανουάριο θα ασχοληθούμε με την ημέρα του χιονάνθρωπου στο έργο μας: Colourful Preschool Time.
Θα ντύσουμε λοιπόν το χιονάνθρωπο με ρούχα και αξεσουάρ, που έχουν άσπρο χρώμα. Θα ετοιμάσουμε κάρτες από περιοδικά με εικόνες ρούχων σε διάφορα χρώματα και φυσικά σε λευκό. Η μελισσούλα θα περνάει από τις κάρτες και θα παίρνει μόνο τις κάρτες με τα λευκά ρούχα. Δυσκολεύοντας λιγάκι τη διαδικασία κι έχοντας ήδη υλοποιήσει κι άλλες δραστηριότητες με το beebot, μπορούμε να χρησιμοποιήσουμε τις κάρτες των ρούχων με άλλα χρώματα ως εμπόδια, προσέχοντας τα παιδιά να μην περάσουν από αυτά.
Επίσης, εμπλουτίζοντας τη δραστηριότητα μπορούν να δουλέψουν τα παιδιά σε ομάδες. Ένα παιδί θα ετοιμάζει τον κώδικα με βελάκια κι ένα άλλο θα τον εκτελεί και θα λέει, αν δούλεψε. Επιπλέον, τα άλλα παιδιά στην ολομέλεια θα μπορούν να προτείνουν μια διαφορετική διαδρομή. Έτσι, θα μετρούν τα βελάκια - βήματα και θα αρχίσουν να εξοικειώνονται με τη λογική της πιο σύντομης διαδρομής, καλλιεργώντας τη λογικομαθηματική τους σκέψη.
Hippopotamus day
Mon, Feb 3, 2025 8:00 AM
In February in our project Colourful Preschool Time we will deal with hippo day and the color gray.
Younger students will become familiar with an activity with arrows in different directions (up, down, right, left) following the pattern.
The older students will lead the little Hippopotamus to the creations that the other schools have prepared (either drawings or information in code that the children will say something important about the hippopotamus, e.g. it is gray in color or even to the exhibition of Mr. Gray's works with drawings only in shades of gray). The teacher will place the cards on the beebot mockup.
Creations will be added to a collaborative digital tool, the link to which will be shared with project members.
