Class Ten, completed their computing work in the current class topic (Lightening Speed) by creating their own representation of how an email travels across the internet. The children were able to explain how computers can be connected together, how routers direct the information to the correct computer and how information – in this instance an email- will be “cut up” put in to separate packets to travel quickly before being reassembled at its destination.

Year 5 students had an exciting and educational experience during their visit to The Word in South Shields, where they put their growing programming skills to the test! Using Lego Spike Prime kits, the students took on the challenge of coding dancing robots. By applying their knowledge of block-based coding, they were able to program the robots to perform synchronized movements, bringing their creations to life in a fun and interactive way.
This project allowed the children to showcase their creativity and problem-solving abilities, while also emphasizing the importance of teamwork. It’s amazing to see how confidently they tackled the challenge, demonstrating not only their enthusiasm for STEM but also their ability to turn coding instructions into real-world actions.
This class trip is a great example of how hands-on technology can both engage and educate, making learning fun while helping to build essential skills for the future. Our young coders are already showing incredible potential, and we can’t wait to see where their love for STEM will take them!
