Differentiation
Learners needing support:
- Should use the Knowledge organiser to support them with remembering the Bee-Bots commands.
- Could be directed to letters that are easier to navigate the Bee-Bot too (e.g. c, d, e, h, i, k, l or m).
Learners working at a stretch:
- Should design instructions that spell out a three-letter word by pausing the digital Bee-Bot on each letter space.
