Beech class had a fantastic visit from Junior Stem Lego becoming robotic engineers. We built programmable monkeys out of Lego and then after building them we had to use different algorithms to programme them to move, speak and play different songs. We then learned how to use sensors to control them and get them to perform different actions.

Beech class have been learning all about keeping safe online and all about cyberbullying. We know what cyber bullying looks like and strategies to deal with it. Our work has included learning ways that clickbait can be used to lure us into clicking on certain links or news articles. We found out some of the different techniques to be aware of that use clickbait and how it can be used as a part of a scam as well.
We also explored the question: 'How do gender stereotypes shape our experiences online?' We were challenged to come up with an avatar that would either show a stereotype or challenge gender stereotypes.
Beech class had an amazing experience being able to take part in a VR Prime workshop. They were able to travel to the Mayan city of Chichen Itza and see inside a temple as well as exploring what life was like in this ancient civilisation. It was wonderful to feel as if we had actually stepped back in time to this immersive world.
Year 5 had the fantastic opportunity to work with U Develop to record their own podcasts on the subject of climate change. Jess and Charlotte helped us to gather information that would be suitable for our podcast and then we used special equipment to record and edit what we wanted to say. We can't wait to share our final versions with you when they are ready!
