S2 students in Mr. Jack’s Busines & Computing class have been getting hands-on with robotics and coding, taking part in an exciting Sphero RVR race!
The challenge? Each team had to navigate their robot around a course, collecting bases along the way. Using block-based coding on iPads, students programmed their Sphero RVRs and sent commands via Bluetooth. But it wasn’t just about coding once and hoping for the best—teams had to monitor their robot’s path, troubleshoot errors, and adjust their code to improve performance.
This engaging activity gave students practical experience in coding, problem-solving, and logical thinking, all while having fun with robotics. The race sparked teamwork, creativity, and determination as students refined their strategies to complete the challenge.
A fantastic effort from all involved.
For the past few weeks and over the next few the Caledonia Centre has been training students from S3 to S6 on Car Valeting. A professional car valeting training team has come to the school on Tuesday mornings and the students have been trained by the team with 2 or 3 staff members having their cars cleaned.
The S6 Class has been running it as an enterprise scheme as part of Personal Development and Car Valeting National Course with invoices given to staff to contribute to part of the cost. One of the S3 students has been described by James (the Car Valeting Instructor) as one of the best pupils he has ever seen. The student’s ability to take leadership and their attention to deal has been outstanding. James has taught over 7000 pupils and he is very impressed.
The students have very much enjoyed the car valeting and have looked forward to every session. Mr Anderson from the Caledonia Centre said that a wonderful job had been done on his car, it was beautifully clean and shiny, inside and out.
