3rd class are enjoying Spike Educate STEM kits. The children had to follow the online instructions to build the Lego. They then had to complete the challenge and make adjustments using computer coding. The children learned to make their creation move and add lights and sounds to match their creation.
The children then had to present their creations and adjustments to the class. They made a variety of items from bowling alleys to aeroplanes, taxi’s and spinning teacups from the amusements.
It was a very enjoyable Friday afternoon. Ms Butler
In third class, we have been very lucky to spend Friday afternoons computer coding with Lego.
This program was designed to help students develop the critical thinking skills they need to solve complex problems. It also involves teamwork, information building and lots and lots of fun!! We have built an electronic bowling alley, a ferris-wheel, a taxi, a helicopter and may more wonderful creations!
The children build their confidence, critical thinking skills and computer knowledge along with the 21st-century skills that are vital to their future success! Ms Archer
