Communicating through the Senses

At Southfield we love ICT and were very excited when Mrs Hogg got invited on a robotics training day!

We have now begun a robotics club at lunchtimes and have begun to build our own robots! Our robots are able to communicate through sound and sight and we can program them to do lots of exciting things - including obstacle courses!

 

If you would like to see more of our club then please pop along to the Year 5 classroom at lunchtime or check out the display in the hall!
