This week we started off using instructions verbally and following them using our bodies. We then moved to listening to them in music and doing a dance. This helped us to understand which way our Bee-Bots needed to move. From this it was so much fun being able to...
We joined the assembly completing challenges on how to stay safe and then went outside and played a game thinking about our reactions and emotions in different scenarios.
In Computing, we have been writing instructions for the Beebots and predicting the direction they will travel in. We have been practising debugging algorithms to get our robot to travel to chosen destinations on a map.
We have been learning about using all 4 directions with the Beebots to navigate around a map. We had to test different commands to form a set of instructions to successfully travel from shape to shape.
We have had lots of fun exploring how Beebots work with our peers, thinking about what functions the different buttons have and how to effectively give the Beebot directions to get to a destination.
We have really enjoyed learning about digital photography in our Computing lessons. We have practised taking photographs in landscape and portrait formats, using framing to ensure our photographs were focused and effective. We also practised editing our photos by...
This week we are enjoying exploring different types of transport. We set up our own journey and used the bikes to follow different directions. We took turns on the bikes and when we were not on the bike we were the ‘SatNav’ using both our own instructions and google...
We worked hard to use the line and fill tool to create our own digital paintings in the style of Wassily Kandinsky.
We had a great time at Robotics Workshop! During this workshop, we got the opportunity to programme our very own robots using a VexCode Programme to complete tasks. We began by getting our robots to do a simple task of just moving around a cube. However, by the end of the session we could advance our coding even further to get our robots through an obstacle course, where we could even get it to light up different colours and even say ‘Ta-Da!’ at the end.
