What is decomposition? Wondering how to explain decomposition? Looking for an exciting way to introduce a computational thinking session including decomposition? If you are tackling problem solving in any subject you could start with a rousing song! It’s a sure way to help us all to remember that word: decomposition. Decomposition may not be too hard a concept for many people, who understand that you need to break a big problem down into smaller parts/steps/chunks that are easier to understand and to organize. It’s a standard problem solving technique used in everyday situations as well as in education across different subjects Attempting to organize those chunks can be a great stride in logical and computational thinking, and the steps needed to complete the problem take you fully into abstraction and algorithms, of course. Packed with real world imagery, visual depictions generated by AI and animated humorous moments. Remember you can pause the video if anyone needs more time to discuss any text that is on the screen. Part of being a computer programmer is breaking down a big problem into the smaller problems that make it up. By asking questions about the problem and then looking at the answers to those, you can break down a big problem into smaller problems and then you can use a computer to solve them. When computer scientists are writing a program they may break the code into small chunks. They would look for patterns in their code and can reuse useful chunks of code for other programs. PUPIL OBJECTIVE/ LEARNING OUTCOME: I can solve problems by decomposing them into smaller parts. To understand that when problem solving, it can be useful to break up a problem into smaller steps/chunks. There are a variety of sheets including ones with an open choice for the problem to attempt to decompose. You may find that pupils are better using large plain paper to formulate ideas, especially if they work in groups. It is very hard to produce one sheet as a structure for different decomposition problems as they are so varied.

These worksheets aims to stimulate discussions about bees and facts known about bees. Together with the video, they can be used in many ways including in Science or Understanding the World lessons, or as an assembly about bees or to aid learning English. TBot has some questions he can’t answer. How do the bees make all the honey? What makes the flowers grow? Can you help him by finding the answers to these questions? Do you already know? You can have fun singing along with his latest song and then, if you need to, you could investigate the answers. Packed with real videos of bees at work, as well as animated humorous moments. Young bees are shown in a hive and a cartoon queen bee pops up at the end. Will pupils notice? Look out for the waggle dance. Notice the dandelion flowers are pollinated by the bees, set their seed and change to a dandelion clock. The oranges on the tree only grow because the bees have pollinated their flowers. Why do hexagons feature in some bees lives and what makes a regular hexagon such an interesting shape? When is the next World Bee Day?

I Brush My Teeth Chart Take my advice. Make sure you brush twice! This is the message on this lively chart to encourage everyone to brush their teeth twice a day. Tick each box after you have brushed your teeth. Brush your teeth twice a day. This chart also has a place for some self assessment. It has our characters FQ and TBot from our animation and song which help to encourage everyone to have healthy teeth for life by having a good dental health routine. Remember to brush your teeth twice a day. Teeth - Brush Them Twice a Day Song - FQ and TBot featuring The Molars. TBot eats way too many cakes and sweets and doesn’t always remember to clean his teeth. Can FQ help TBot to care about his teeth before it is too late or has FQ bitten off more than he can chew? Can TBot keep up with FQ’s dynamic dance routines? Will The Molars help to encourage TBot to do the right thing? Can you guess what type of animal FQ is? The clue is that FQ really enjoys funky music, so what could the Q be for?
