ELC BEE-BOTS

St Hilda’s parents understand the importance of giving children the best start to their education. They know that every moment counts in setting them up for an extraordinary future.

Late last year we started documenting the incredible work of our Junior School teachers through a series of videos that set out to show how every moment counts at St Hilda’s.

EVERY MOMENT COUNTS

ELC BEE-BOTS

When you enter the Early Learning Centre, you can feel the buzz coming from the Pre Primary classroom.

This semester, the students have been learning about digital technology and every week, engage with Bee-Bot robotic devices to put their learning into action. Through simple coding, the students have been programming the Bee-Bot to move from one specifi c spot to another.

The Bee-Bots are a fantastic way for our students to engage with baseline programming and problem-solving skills. The Bee-Bots require the use of decomposition, modelling and algorithm, and the girls have been excelling in their progress with the device.

The students have been recording their work each week and have learnt the important lesson that if at fi rst you don’t succeed, keep trying.

Exposing our students to simple coding and algorithms from a young age is important in ensuring they are learning through a 21st century lens while still having fun.

Our Junior School teachers strive to create a safe, collaborative and engaging learning space to establish strong foundations for their students. In these formative years.
