Robotics - The Gruffalo Bee-Bots

 Team Maunga have been learning to use the bee-bots. We got creative and attached a mouse to the bee-bots. Team Maunga children then helped the mouse get to the nut, in order to do that they had to dodge the 'bugs' - The Gruffalo, Snake, Fox and Owl. It was great to see the children communicating in their groups and supporting each other to work out which direction the mouse needed to go.

Check out your children's Seesaw account to see their robotic learning.  

Computational Thinking can be practiced by using our own bodies and leading someone from one point to another without bumping into obstacles along the way. 

Different language that can be used; go forward, go back, turn left, turn right, turn clockwise, turn anti-clockwise. 

Challenge: During lockdown can you use your knowledge of Computational Thinking to lead someone from one point to another?

Olympic Fun Day 2021

 On Friday Team Moana organised an Olympic Fun Day for the whole school.

We had so much fun choosing different activities to participate in. Some were really challenging especially the balancing games. We really liked the dodge ball game and the bow and arrow target game.

We hope Moana do this again we had an amazing time!
