Slide 2
Aims
To use flowcharts to test and debug a program.
To create a simulation of a room in which devices can be controlled.

Slide 3
Success Criteria
Children can follow flowcharts to create and debug code.
Children can create flowcharts for procedures.
Children can be creative with the way they code to generate novel visual effects.

Function: A block or sequence of code that you can access when
you need it, so you don’t have to rewrite the code repeatedly.
Instead, you simply call the function each time you want it.

Vocabulary
What does this word mean to you?
Simulation
Can you remember learning about simulation in Year 5 Coding lessons?
A simulation is a model that

represents a real or
imaginary situation.
Simulations can be used to
explore options and to test
predictions.

Billy’s Bedroom Flowcharts

Slide 7
Billy’s Bedroom Simulation

Let’s open Billy’s Bedroom Simulation and RUN the program.
Does it contain all the same things as your picture?
Look at the flowcharts while the program is running, can you predict what will happen when different objects
are clicked on?

Billy’s Bedroom Simulation
Slide 8
Let’s run the simulation again.

What objects shall we click on?
(Use the flowcharts to help you decide)
Does it run like you were expecting?
Look at the code.

It is incomplete.
Why is it organised into different tabs?
What is each tab for?

Slide 9
Activity 1: Complete Billy’s Bedroom Simulation

Open Billy’s Bedroom Simulation and add missing code or debug the existing code so that it runs correctly.
Interpret the flowcharts and program the correct procedure for each object.
Create flowcharts for, and then program objects that there isn’t an existing plan for.
Don’t forget to save as you go – if you make a mistake you can exit without saving and then
re-open your program at the last point you saved it.
