A large grid of squares on paper on the floor with colour images in some squares from The Very Hungry Caterpillar story. A Bluebot robot is on the bottom left square ready to move to the images so students can retell the story in sequence.

How can we retell stories through coding? What happened first? Then what happened? What do we need to tell the Bluebot so that it goes the correct way?
