P4 did a workshop on Farm Animals with the SSPCA. We learned how to look after farm animals and we made robot chickens! We then used coding to make them move and make a noise. It was great fun!
We always like to encourage our pupils to use the coder dojo at Hearts’ Tynecastle stadium.
Next week our friends at Robotical are bringing Marty to the dojo for a 6 week robotics and coding course.
We use Marty with our older coders at Dalry so this is a good way to get an introduction to what it can do.
This week we were joined by Christine Eccles for RHET (Royal Highland Education Trust) who taught us how to make bread. She brought some real wheat for us to look at and we ground the grain into flour. Then we mixed, pounded and starched out our dough before shaping it into rolls which we left to rise before baking. AND we got to take our tasty bread home. YUMMMY!
See our EASY bread recipe attached.
The RHET also run the Royal Highland Show at Ingliston which makes a great day out for children and families to visit. Ingliston is near Edinburgh Airport on the 300 bus and tram route.
Heart of Midlothian FC host a free coder Dojo.
