Term 5
Microbits
This week we progressed with producing algorithms and managed to get our cars to move forward and back. Some of us managed to get our cars to spin and change the LED lights!
Crime and Punishment
Respect have been enjoying our topic ‘Crime and Punishment’. We have been debating whether Dick Turpin was a Hero or a Villain. We used our knowledge of sources and their reliability to back up our opinions.
We then jumped forward in time (200 years) to the Victorian era. We found out about how the poor were punished and tried some of the punishments that were issued during this era.
Computing - Microbits
In computing we have been exploring how to create algorithms using micro-bits. We have been able to create count down timers and LED images. Sometimes it did not work so we had to try and debug our algorithm.
Music Performance
Respect enjoyed listening to the performance this week. It inspired us to carry on practising hard, so we could perform like them!
