Today MI continued to work on their final word presentations reflecting on their howls for the year then thinking about their proudest moments. They used their expedition books from the Autumn and Spring term to support them. They continued to use their checklists to order their presentations.

Today we created the speech that will be part of our story. We then created our backdrops for each of our 6 scenes and added the characters. Finally, we started to add the speech for each scene.

Today we continued with our ICT work. We created our own sprite based on Valentina Tereshkova, the first woman to travel in space. We followed the instructions carefully then started to create our own back drop. Some great support was given today by our peers which was lovely to see.

Today we started case study 3. We thought about what we already know about coding and created a KWL grid. We then discussed what coding is and watched a clip on binary, building background knowledge. After, we used an alphabet chart to build our name in binary!

We then watched another clip to find out what coding actually is. We added our findings to our KWL grid. The next clip proved how much our lives depend on coding! Finally we worked collaboratively to create a group code, we had to ensure our instructions were clear and could be followed. We then thought about the guiding question and how coding helps movement in our world.
