Partly as a practice race for the upcoming Robotics Link project, but mainly so that pupils could have an event to film for their Video Editing Computing unit (and also for fun!) – we held a robot race today.
Pre and post-race interviews were filmed from multiple camera angles so that they can be cut with action footage of the race action.
It was encouraging to see how fascinating the robots were for these children – a great way to inspire hands-on programming skills.
The creative super-powers of Class 9C at Crowdy’s have led to the creation of two new islands for the growing Secrets of Driftwood Islands world.
Jungle Island involved maths skills in choosing the angle of their plant stems (having used their art skills to draw the leaves) followed by english skills in telling the story of Chloe the cat who left Cat Island to visit Jungle Island.
With the ChoiceBoxes remaining central to this project, every week each pupil has been able to vote for what they would like to see happen next.
We will publish the updated online-playable game here soon so that you can hear the children reading out their story as you explore the growing archipelago!
