Learning Objective: Understand how to create a loop in Python and use a Boolean variable to define when to stop 

 Starter:
In partners – think of all the things that you have done with python so far on post its and place on post it board.
What program do we use?
Keywords?

 Main:
What is Iteration?
Think about these questions:
What different types of loops are described in the video? 
What is the technical term for loops?
What might a loop do in a piece of code???

Activity 1
Pick a worksheet and complete the challenge. 

 Activity 2
What does the code do?
Take a screen shot of your working code and place in to your evidence document.
Explain what the loop is doing to your code.
Which loop is it? 
What would happen if there wasn't that loop there?

 Extension: 
Can you explain what other parts of the code is doing? Can you use keywords to help you explain?
What does the # symbol do in your code?
Why would you use a #?
Can you find out why Python is called Python? and why IDLE is called IDLE?

 Plenary:
1 minute in silence to think about what you have learnt today.
Put it on to a post it with your name for the post it wall.

Learning Objective: Understand the requirements of an NEA Consolidate learning of hardware and operating systems Starter: Exemplary NEA Document This is not full marks but can give you an idea of the work that is put into the NEA Main: Task 1 Complete an evaluation of your NEA project. 1. Comment on each subtask and how well you have solved the problem 2. Comment on any improvements you would make if you were to complete this again. Task 2 Work through Homework 14/15 to complete before next Monday Task 3 Work through Homework 16 to complete for the test

Learning Objective: Be able to show your understanding of basic programming using comments in your code. Be able to ensure your code is robust by using a test table. Starter: Open your NEA documents: - Evidence Document - Your Code - Programming slides of NEA Main: Task 1 1. Ensure you have created a full menu with all options, loops and selection (if). 2. Add comments to your code. 3. Screen shot the code of your main menu in to your evidence document. Task 2 1.  Complete slide 3 and 5 of the Programming slides for NEA; adding code for the first option of the menu. 2. Comment on this code. 3. Screenshot the code and place in your evidence document. Task 3 Have you tested your code? Did it run correctly? 1. Develop your testing table using your initial test plan. Test every aspect of your first 2 tasks. Plenary: What will be the next part of the NEA programming? What will you need to do for the next option?
