After listening to the story One Winters Day, about a hedgehog who needed to find a home to keep him warm on a snowy day, we wrapped up nice and warm and went on a walk around the school to look for any signs of hedgehogs. We talked about how they might be hibernating...
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.
