As part of Technology week, Primary 6/7 have been having great fun, setting up as small teams of engineers. We have all taken part in a project to build and test ‘Robokid’ vehicles. The robots were designed by Scottish engineers at Heriot Watt University in Edinburgh.
First we built our robots…..
Then we used our problem solving skills to ensure they were all wired correctly.
Then we learnt to use the robot and control it through a cable controller….
And finally it was time for our driving competition!
We also had a fabulous time yesterday with a visit from Jenny from Quality Meat Scotland. We learnt all about the importance of buying Scottish meat and we discussed healthy foods. After that we helped prepare, cook and eat some fajitas which were delicious!
Enjoy the long weekend!

Well children I just love this blog post. You’ve really engaged with technologies week, this is just so lovely to see. I enjoyed coming along to see your robot races and how excited Charlie and Dallas were about being in the winning team!! Jenny from quality meat Scotland said that you were just a fantastic end to her day particularly helping her with all the leftovers, I still can’t believe you didn’t bring me along to help out!!
