Primary. We use three tools, to give us a good progression:
- Nursery, reception and year 1 use bee-bots - simple physical machines which you can tell to go forward, backward, left and right.
- Years 2, 3 & 4 use roamers - again, a physical machine - like the bee-bots, but with repeat, and rotation in degrees, so the kids can program them to do squares, octagons, etc.
- Years 5 & 6 use a logo program on the computer.
