Robotics and Digital Design in ICT

This term in ICT, students across the school have been engaging with Sphero robots, learning foundational programming and problem-solving skills in a fun, hands-on way.

Students from Kindergarten to Year 3 have been exploring how to log in and control the Spheros, guiding them through obstacle courses and learning basic movement commands.

Our Year 4 to Year 6 students have taken on more complex challenges. They are beginning to program the robots to move in curves and circles, using these skills to create digital shapes. Eventually, their projects will spell out words using the movement of the Spheros — a creative way to combine coding with literacy and geometry.

3D Printing Comes to Life

We are excited to share that, thanks to a generous contribution from the Community Council, the school has purchased two 3D printers to enhance learning during ICT lessons.

In Term 1, students had the opportunity to turn their hand-drawn or digital designs into 3D printed models. This gave them an exciting glimpse into the world of digital design and provided a meaningful connection between creativity and technology.

Photos to follow - all the children are loving ICT.
