Term 3 takes learners to the next level of computational thinking. They learn how to combine loops, decisions, IPO, debugging, and robot design to solve more complex problems.
The focus of the term is not only on following instructions but also on explaining their thinking. Learners begin to understand why one solution may be better, shorter, or more efficient than another.
The programme follows this unique learning pathway: Body → Floor Grid → Paper
This practical progression enables learners to develop new concepts safely and with understanding before applying them on paper.
Term 3 includes:
• Advanced loops and repetition
• Simple decision-making
• The IPO cycle
• Debugging and error classification
• Optimisation and efficiency
• Robot components
• Helper robot design
• Digital citizenship
• End-of-term consolidation
This term helps learners become more independent problem-solvers and prepares them for the integration of all concepts in Term 4.
This package includes:
• Complete lesson plans
• Matching worksheets
• Full memorandums
• Practical floor-grid activities
• CAPS-aligned assessment opportunities
• Digital citizenship integration
• Ronnie the Robot activities
