Primary 5 had a fantastic morning during our ‘Lego Robotics’ Computer Xplorers workshop with Mr McGill. Pupils worked collaboratively to build lego models and then applied their programming/coding skills to animate these. We had roaring lions, moving sailboats,  spinners, a goal kicker and a goalkeeper as well as snapping crocodiles. Mrs Dyson was very proud of the teamwork skills demonstrated and the amazing robots created.

Blair – “Creating the crocodile was fun because we laughed when the crocodiles jaws snapped shut on our fingers and we joked that it had eaten our fingers.”

Sophie – “Programming the lion was easy because you just needed to follow the instructions and click the blocks together.”

Ross – “An exciting moment was when we scored with our robot goal kicker.”

Rhys and Lucy – “Creating the goalkeeper was challenging because there were lots of instructions. We felt proud of ourselves when our goalkeeper moved to save the goal from the next team’s ball.”

Everyone – “Another exciting moment was when Mr McGill introduced us to two robots which danced, dabbed and did push ups. Amazing!”
