Year 4 – Lesson 6 – Creating a program

In the final lesson, pupils will apply the skills that they have learnt in this unit to create a program containing a count-controlled loop. Over the course of the lesson, they will design wrapping paper using more than one shape, which they will create with a program that uses count-controlled loops. They will begin by creating the algorithm, either as an annotated sketch, or as a sketch and algorithm, and then implement it as code. They will debug their work throughout, and evaluate their programs against the original brief.
