Micro:Bit Workshop

Great ‘Introduction to Micro:Bits’ workshop with my Year 4 pupils at Birchwood Primary School today. Combined both ‘unplugged’ and ‘plugged’ activities to help teach them how to code with the Micro:Bits. Too often I find that unplugged activities are overlooked with KS2 pupils, but so important to do with pupils of all ages and for me the best activities are often those that combine the two. Today I simply took screenshots of the coding blocks and printed and laminated these so that pupils could design and debug the LED patterns prior to transferring into code and see the physical output via their Micro:Bits.
