Year 3 enjoyed a jam-packed day of computing yesterday when Mr Robert from the OpenZone visited to do some fairground-themed coding!

The children worked in pairs to follow the instructions to build the Lego models, then attached the Lego SPIKE hubs, motors, lights and sensors. Finally, they used the iPads to program their models to move. They could make their models spin around, change the speed and direction, some lit up, and some even played music and had sound effects.

Once they all completed the carousel model and were confident using the software, the children moved on to create another. There were Ferris Wheels, ticket machines and swings. The children had a fantastic time and learned a lot about programming at the same time.
