During our 'Robot Rampage' topic we looked at famous engineers - the children were fascinated by Isambard Kingdom Brunel. They produced interesting biographies about him that focused on his childhood, his designing skills and the legacy of bridges, railways and tunnels that are still around today.
After an exciting visit to the Doctor Who Experience in Cardiff Bay (to kick start the topic) we wrote some exciting adventure stories where we assisted the Doctor in saving the planets with our robots.
We have been developing our teamwork skills and built group robots out of recycled materials. We explored how to make electrical circuits and were challenged to put a circuit into the robots - some groups had buzzers while others had lighting up eyes! We evaluated them to see what we liked about our robots and what we would like to do better next time.
