Exploration of Robotics for Year 2

Year 2 have continued their exploration of robotics in the last few weeks as part of their STEM learning. The pupils have had great fun learning how loops can repeat actions and get the robots to do some strange things! Since we are so well resourced, the pupils have been able to work in pairs, using the Lego Mindstorms app on the iPads to write programs that control the motors and sounds. Programming is always rewarding, but even more so when the results can be seen as movements, rather than just on screen. The way in which the children have challenged themselves and really extended their learning has been particularly impressive!
