ARCHIVED Year 5 Blog 2024/25

 In today’s computing lesson, we were exploring how selection can help a program choose between two choices, depending on whether a condition is true or false. We used this to help us design and make a mini game to share with our friends. 

 In Computing this half term we will be using selection to make Scratch quizzes.  Today we explored how selection can be used to make a program respond to different inputs. 

Today was F1 Race Day. After weeks of preparation and careful design, we were finally ready to show our hard work to the judges. Year 5 were exemplary and impressed us all with their team work and mature approach to the competition. It was great to see the team t-shirts and pit garages, and the judges were impressed by the children’s knowledge and enthusiasm. Well done everyone!

 In F1 today we got to test our prototypes on the race track that we will be using for the finals in 3 weeks time! It was brilliant to see our cars in action and we took away lots of inspiration and ideas for how to improve for our final designs. 

 We had a great afternoon today. We looked at building our race cars and considering how to make the structure more aerodynamic. As you can see, we had a little help!
