Dear Bloggers,
Years 3 and 4 built and programmed kicking legs, a goal keeper and thier own cheering fans – but what good is a sporting team without any arms. The children designed and programmed their own designs.

Dear Bloggers,
3A, 3C and 4A built a goal keeper and programmed him to stop those talented legs from scoring goals.
Look at the cute little keeper.
This is the programming.
There are three programs running concurrently:
1.controls the keeper
2.creates an automatic scoreboard
3. makes a cheering sound when a goal is scored.

Dear Bloggers,
3C made a pair of kicking legs to help them score goals when they played soccer. The legs had a powerful kick and the childen had lots of fun.
Have a look at the pictures below.

Dear Bloggers,
Those lions are still ravenous – so luckily 3C made lots of zebras.

Dear Bloggers,
Stage 2 students were all ‘a flap’ in class – not because there was a problem but because they built and programmed a bird with flapping wings. The model bird had large wings and using CAM gears as shoulder blades the children were able to flap the wings up and down. The birds had swivel necks and were able to bend to the ground. The students attached a tilt sensor onto the bird and programmed the robot to make swooshing wing flap sounds when the tilt sensor was moved. Fast workers then placed a motion sensor into position so that the robotic bird could make pecking sounds when it bent forwards to eat. Have a look at the fun in the photos below.

Dear Bloggers,
The crocodiles that the children made the week before were extremely ravenous so it was with great speed and skill that 3C programmed them to eat. A motion sensor to detect the food and a loop in the program to allow continuous chewing did the trick. The children also made copious amounts of yummy food for their crocodiles.
Thanks for calling by.
Please come by again
