22 May Mission to Mars: 5BB & 5JH Robotics Workshop
Tube strikes couldn’t stop Year 5 from embarking on an out-of-this-world adventure! To make up for a disrupted trip, we were delighted to welcome the brilliant team from Haringey Computer Xplorers into school for an action-packed robotics and coding workshop.
The sessions were themed around a thrilling “Mission to Mars” and split into two hands-on challenges. First, the children collaborated in teams to master block-based coding, programming their Sphero robots to safely navigate a tricky obstacle course. Next, they shifted their tech skills to the digital realm, completing complex space exploration tasks inside Minecraft Education.
The children demonstrated fantastic teamwork, resilient problem-solving, and impressive digital literacy throughout the day. It turned out to be an unforgettable experience that brought science and technology to life right in our own classrooms!
