The Doctor and the Dalek Coding

This half term we have been learning to code... and saving the universe! We have been developing our programming skills, by playing a fantastic game called 'The Doctor and The Dalek' from the BBC.

We have been learning that coding is how we tell computers what we want them to do. We have learned to put together sequences of commands, use repetition and 'if' or 'when' commands. There have been some very tricky challenges, which have taken a lot of patience and concentration, but we are becoming great programmers!

Here are some pictures of us, hard at work coding:

Here are some screen shots of the game, can you remember what you had to do to pass these tasks?

We will be completing our Doctor Who coding next week, but we'll come back to programming soon. In the meantime, if you would like to play at home, click the link below:
