Now that term 2 is here, P4 will be learning about computer coding with Miss Stevenson. Today they used the Tynker Hour of Code activities to practice building algorithms using block code. They had a great time and enjoyed the level of challenge within the games!
SLC3 were excited to start their new computer coding topic in ICT today. They enjoyed building their algorithms to play an online game and progress through the levels. They are sure to be coding champions in no time!
“May the force be with you”
Primary 5 have been learning how to code using JavaScript blocks. We used a Star Wars theme to engage us with our learning. Everyone loved controlling and coding BB-8 using the iPads. We also used the ActivPanel and interactive whiteboard to work as a team to build our algorithms.
For the past 8 weeks, a small group of pupils from P4, P5, P6 and P7 have been working on a Raspberry Pi competition entry. The group (The Pi Pals) decided to create a device that could sense when the wearer was becoming annoyed and fidgeting. The Pi could pick up this signal and tell a small fan on the wearer’s wrist to turn on and blow a soothing cold breeze onto the wrist to calm down the wearer. We thought this would be a useful device for anyone who had autism, Tourette’s, or issues controlling their anger so that they could calm themselves down.
