Room 13 took part in a live ‘Doodle-a-long’ with the creator of the fabulous ‘Tom Gates’ series, hosted by Scholastic.co.uk in the lead-up to World Book Day on Thursday!

Today due to the weather we were indoors today. We were experimenting with different loose parts to create artefacts linked to our topic. We discussed the Meta-skills we used during the task

Room 13 were excited to get started on Project Real – a joint project between Glasgow University and NLC’s digital team to help us learn more about spotting fake news and identifying the use of AI. This week, we used the SHARE checklist to tell if news was fake or real, which prompted a huge amount of quality discussion!

Room 13 worked in groups to create their choice of Lego builds, then coded them to incorporate motion sensors, moving motors and LED light displays. A brilliant way of enhancing teamwork skills, reading comprehension and digital literacy! Our Digital Leaders will start rolling out the Raising Robots Lego Spike kits after the February break with some of the younger classes.
