We have used the cut willow in our garden to try our hands at willow weaving. We have been practising this skill over the last two afternoons and are very proud of the willow wreaths that we have created to sell at the Christmas Fayre. Here is a sneak preview of what we will be selling after we add some Christmas touches.
Today we started our first STEM Lab using the new school Vex Go kits. We learned how to build with the kit and designed our own machines first. Mrs Ross and Mrs Conetta were very impressed with our creativity and build skills.
Working in groups, we then followed the step by step instructions to build or Base Robots. We then practised using the drive mode to move our robots around our table. After some trial and error using different driving styles it was time for competitions. We built our racing track and raced each others robots through the slalom. Well done to Olivia our racing winner this week!
We are looking forward to STEM Lab 2 next week where we will be learning to code our robots.
