  • Robotics Challenge Activity Day

    Tue 26 Apr 2022 Shannon Booth

    On the first day back after the Easter break, year 3/4 had a Robotics Activity Day.

     

    This involved 2 volunteers and someone who works in robotics introducing the children to different career pathways involving robotics. The children were amazed at how they could actually work with robots in a job when they are older.

     

    We learnt how to code and program a robot to move around a maze. It was great fun but very tricky!

    On the last day of the Spring time, there was much excitement in the playground as Mrs Webb's annual Easter challenges took place. The 2 challenges were: 

    1) To design and make a car out of recycled materials which can transport and egg down a ramp. The winner will be the car that travels down the ramp the furthest.

    2) To design and make an Easter bonnet.

     

    Well done to everyone who took part and special congratulations to the winners!

    Deputy Head Mrs Meehan, one of the accompanying staff said: "A huge thank you and well done to all of the Year 5 and 6 children! You were absolute superstars at Condover Hall and a real pleasure to take on our residential! You showed resilience, respect, kindness and perseverance and togetherness. The JCA staff were super impressed and we are very proud of you. We made some great memories."
