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.

Travelling in 4 directions
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.

Exploring Beebots
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.
Digital Photography
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...
How to travel?
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...
Digital Painting
We worked hard to use the line and fill tool to create our own digital paintings in the style of Wassily Kandinsky.
Robotics Workshop
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.
Year 5 Helping the Community
Some of year 5 have been taking part in an intergenerational (and may I say magical ) project with our neighbours who live in the bungalows near Rowlands Gill Primary. Digital Voice is a charity who bring community together engaging in a project. In this project the...
Year 5 Digital Voice Project
Some of the Year 5 children have been selected to attend a Digital Voice Project in the local community. Today, we have been working with the community and learning about photography. We took portrait photographs of each other and zoomed in on the nature around us,...
