3D printing...
Today we had a very exciting visitor in our classroom. Mr Spracklen came in to talk to us about all things modelling and 3D printing. What a fab day. We were all very excited and are planning on doing some more work using Google Sketch Up next term. We will keep you posted!
Here's a little thank you to Mr Spracklen for coming in to help us today.

Bringing models to life!
Last week we were very busy modelling our robots but we weren't happy with them, we wanted to do more.
The pupils decided we wanted walking, talking robots so with this in mind we set to work with ouriPads and used an app called 'Morfo'. The children worked completely independently on the iPads.The class got into character with the robots they had worked so very hard to make.
We hope you like the movie we have put together to show all our animations.
Please let us know what you think.

Robots
Following on from the task set to us by our Robot visitor on Wednesday morning, we have been busy designing our own robots.
We have been working in 3 different groups and we continued this theme to adapt our designs and to produce some super sized robots to carry out jobs around our school - Cleaners, Caretakers and Security Guards.
Everyone worked incredibly hard, adapting and developing ideas, working together to produce some fantastic robots and presenting their final pieces to the rest of the class.
The Building work begins.....

A Special Delivery!
Well What a day we have had! It started after playtime when we arrived back into the classroom to find this...
A box, marked Robot repair centre, but not only an empty box, one containing a talking robot! He even knew our names!
After some investigating and interviewing the robot in the box, we found out we had a task to undertake! To design and make a robot to do jobs that happen in school when we aren't there.
We are working in 3 groups to design a Caretaker robot, A Cleaner Robot and a Security Guard Robot. We have made a digital book showing the designs we have produced this afternoon.
Come back soon to see our finished Robots.
