Year 5's Robot Races

Year 5 have had a brilliant time this week building robots with the help of Solent University. The children worked in pairs to construct their robot and then had to work out how to modify the design because unfortunately the robots did not travel in a straight line! They had to follow some complicated instructions, which they were great at as this is our current English topic, and try hard at working as a team.

After lots of discussion, many groups worked out how to adapt their robot so it would travel in one direction and we finished the afternoon by having a robot race!

Thank you Solent University for coming in to work with us!
