The children in 6th Class had great fun programming these floor robots today. Identifying the exact commands to make the beebots manoeuvre to the desired location in a maze was trickier than we initially thought. Luckily we have great problem-solving skills and made great progress as we went along.

Take a look at our Valentine's inspired hearts! We learned about the history of the Valentine's tradition and why we celebrate St.Valentine's day every February the 14th. St.Valentine lived in Rome thousands of years ago and was a priest. He cured a roman girls blindness and performed other miracles. He died on February 14th.

This week as part of maths and programming we were using Bee Bots.  We set up four stations in our  classroom. We had four different tasks to carry out. Two stations involved programming Bee Bots, one station was using the Bee Bots App on our Ipads and the other station created programmes on Scratch. We really enjoyed the activities and will use them again soon.
