Primary 5 have been exploring the BBC micro:bits that we have recently received. The website “make code” editor has been really useful to follow and help us learn how to code. So far we have programmed the  hardware to make a name badge, picture and a tune.

We have also been learning about how wind turbines work. We made our own wind turbines using: card, string, a straw, a cup, a skewer and tape. We used a hairdryer to create the wind and saw how this can be used to transfer wind energy into kinetic energy.
