Year 6 visit RE:CODE London!
On Wednesday 28th November the whole of year 6 traveled to Lambeth to take part in a coding event for London schools.
We had the opportunity to design cars of the future out of Lego and then use our knowledge of computer coding to control them. We could change the speed of the cars as well as the colour of their lights. We also had the opportunity to make them start by a voice command, play music and stop if something was in their way! We loved racing our vehicles against each others as well as against other schools, and we changed our designs regularly to make our vehicles as efficient and fast as we could.
Welcome to Bodhi Class. Our topic for this Half Term is Mindfulness.
