Design Challenge

This week we were given the challenge of designing a landmark from a Euro 2024 or Olympic country that we could make using card, K’Nex or Kapla, with the plan to build our final structure next week and light it up with Micro-bits.  We experimented with ‘Make-Do’ kits’ as a method of securely connecting pieces of card together.

It was trial and error whether we could make the buildings with different materials.  It was fun.  Rose

We made an excellent leaning Tower of Pisa. Matthew

PE – Athletics

We have started a block of athletics this term.  We have been learning how to throw a javelin, disc and shot put.  We learnt the foot work to perform a long jump with great success.

I liked practising the shot put.  Eva

 

P5 Micro-Bit Challenge

During our ‘Walk to School’ week, P5 were asked to programme Micro-bits to become pedometers.  We worked together as a team to programme the Micro-bits, then we did laps of the school to record our steps during the Daily Mile.

It was fun, but sometimes the Micro-bit didn’t count all of our steps. Abby
