It's been a hands-on week of coding in Year 3 as pupils tried out the Sphero Bolt+ for the first time!

The children explored the LED and matrix displays, customising icons, adding text and using colours. Putting their Maths and Computing skills to work, they programmed their Spheros to roll forward exactly 50cm by calculating and tweaking speed and travel time.

Taking the challenge a step further, some clever coders incorporated 90-degree angles to direct their robots in a perfect square.

The classroom was buzzing with enthusiasm, collaboration and impressive problem-solving all lesson long!
