We learned how algorithms are a set of instructions that enable an object such as a rocket to move or “launch” across the computer screen. We then, used Espresso Coding to move our rockets, asteroids and spaceships using an event action such as “forwards, backwards, up and down”. Knowledge To understand that computers can use algorithms to make objects move. Skills I can explain what an algorithm is. I can use a clear and precise algorithm to create an event Vocab algorithm, event, forwards, backwards, up, down, action. program [Year 2](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/tag/year-2) [Computing](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/tag/computing) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/100x100c/blog/image.jpg)](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2026-02-10-11-27-ks2-explore-online-safety-and-the-use-of-ai-on-safer-internet-day) Previous ### [KS2 Explore Online Safety and the Use of AI on Safer Internet Day](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2026-02-10-11-27-ks2-explore-online-safety-and-the-use-of-ai-on-safer-internet-day) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/100x100c/blog/b44a3d09-9af2-4167-8644-6668e8d7bfa2.jpg)](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2026-02-12-08-59-mental-health-ambassadors-year-4) Next ### [Mental Health Ambassadors - Year 4 ](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2026-02-12-08-59-mental-health-ambassadors-year-4) ### School Life - [Brookside Blog ](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog) - [News](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/news) - [Events](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/events) - [Photograph Galleries ](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/photo-galleries) - [School Council](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/school-life/school-council) - [After-School Clubs ](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/school-life/after-school-clubs) - [KIDZ Club](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/school-life/kidz-club) - [Calendar](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/calendar) - [Newsletters](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/information-for-parents/newsletters-2026-2027) - [Mental Health ](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/school-life/mental-health) ##### Location Rostherne Avenue Great Sutton Cheshire CH66 2EE ##### Contact Us 0151 558 1123 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/groups/brooksideprimary/) © Copyright 2014–2026 Brookside Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
