ICT |
Hi year 3! This week I would like you to begin "Computational thinking". That means I want you to think like a computer. It is about learning to solve problems using the information you are given, and spot mistakes to fix (or debug). This week, I would like you to have a go at this game, called colourful kits. It will work on a computer, phone or tablet so do the best you can to have a go. You need to decide what sports kits the athletes need to wear based on the colour of their flags. Do they need any equipment for their sport? Here is the link: https://barefootgames.org/colourful-kits?ref=https://www.barefootcomputing.org/ Enjoy! Mrs Fraser |
