Today we headed to Kirkabister to take part in rock scrambling activities. We saw different species of plants adapted to living near the shore, like Sea Pinks and we also spotted the ‘Curly Wurly Rock’ which was made by movement of the Earth’s plates. We spied Bog Cotton and Sphagnum Moss. We had great fun and our confidence grew all day. So many metaskills were on display. We had to focus and use initiative as we plotted our paths along the rocky terrain.
After our introduction to different types of computer hardware, earlier in the term, we have started to learn about coding.
Today we worked hard to code our Microbits into pedometers to track our step counts. There was a lot of discussion around which improvements we could make as, after outside testing, we realised there were a few flaws in our code. We had fun measuring perimeters and distances around our school, using our step count. Bunny hops were the most effective!
