Robots and Fashion at Solent University

This week both Year 5 classes had a super time at Solent University. We had the opportunity to use computers to control robotic arms, just like undergraduate students in technology at the University do. The children had to use the skills they had learnt in our instructions lessons in English (as well as their brilliant ICT skills) to make the robot arm pick up and stack four objects - it was much more difficult than it looked!

The children also had a lesson from a real University lecturer in fashion design and decorated their very own t-shirts, which they wore home after the trip.

Finally, all the children had a go at having a graduation photograph.

A brilliant day was had by all!
