Pupils can choose a destination before planning and programming Bee-Bot or Blue-Bot to travel across the mat to reach it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProgramming each journey helps children develop important early computational thinking skills. Pupils must consider the route, break it into individual steps, enter their commands in the correct order and then observe whether their program works as intended. If Bee-Bot reaches the wrong location, they can identify the incorrect command and try again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mat is particularly useful for combining \u003cstrong\u003ecoding with early years and primary classroom topics about communities and occupations\u003c\/strong\u003e. Teachers can create challenges based around different scenarios, encouraging children to think about which person or service could help in a particular situation before programming the robot to the appropriate location.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt also provides plenty of opportunities for developing \u003cstrong\u003espeaking, listening and directional vocabulary\u003c\/strong\u003e, as pupils explain their chosen route and work together to solve programming challenges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeople Who Help Us theme\u003c\/strong\u003e – Supports classroom learning about familiar occupations, services and the local community.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduces early programming\u003c\/strong\u003e – Helps pupils understand sequences of instructions and simple algorithms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDevelops computational thinking\u003c\/strong\u003e – Encourages planning, prediction, testing and debugging.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSupports directional language\u003c\/strong\u003e – Reinforces vocabulary including forwards, backwards, left and right.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCross-curricular learning\u003c\/strong\u003e – Combines coding with topics relating to communities, occupations and the world around us.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEncourages communication\u003c\/strong\u003e – Ideal for pupils to discuss routes, explain their reasoning and solve challenges together.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlexible classroom activities\u003c\/strong\u003e – Teachers can create simple destination challenges or more complex journeys involving several stops.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible with Bee-Bot and Blue-Bot\u003c\/strong\u003e – Designed for use with both TTS programmable floor robots.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eClassroom Activity Ideas\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTeachers could give pupils simple scenarios such as identifying who could help in a particular situation and then ask them to program Bee-Bot to the relevant location.
