Exploring Structures - DT
We completed our marble runs yesterday and finalised our evaluations. We discussed how we needed to adapt our designs and think innovatively when ideas did not go to plan. Take a look at our finished products!
Computing - Kodu Programming.
Each week, we have been building on a new skill in order to make a race track on Kodu and create a code to make a character to move in a specific way around a race track. Take a look at our learning so far.
