Dear Bloggers,

One of the Stage 3 students’ activities was to build a robot with a swinging arm.  The robot had a light sensor and was programmed to hit a ball with its arm.  But things became more challenging as the robots were programmed to hit the red ball and beep and reverse away from the red one.  Fast workers determined how to program the following combinations: hit the blue ball and not the red, hit either ball and finally to refuse to hit any ball.  The class then became creative and designed games using their sporting robot.  ‘Knocking Over Lego People Bowling’ was a popular game.

Have a look at the photos below.

Sorry I am moving around in time with my posts but I am trying to backtrack and include some posts about work the children completed before the blog was created.  I promise once I am caught up that I will be posting chronologically.

 

Please call by again
