Year Six

VIP Morning: Ozobots

On Friday 30th August, our Year Sixes celebrated the welcoming of all their dads, grandads, father figures and special people within our ENPS community, in recognition of Father’s Day. The students demonstrated their understanding of scientific and technological aspects within our ‘How The World Works’ unit of inquiry, by customising ‘hand drawn’ tracks to manoeuvre our ‘Ozobots’.

Students have spent the last few lessons tweaking around with these robots, developing their coding and problem-solving skills through traffic simulations and transport clean-up scenarios with classroom resources. Students also took the initiative by bringing from home their own resources, creating their own custom roads and infrastructure using go pieces, plastic cups and many more.

Their knowledge was put to the test during VIP Morning, as students prepared to present their skills to their father figures. Students educated them by testing their understanding of the Ozobot’s sensors and how they are influenced by particular coloured codes, enabling their respective actions/commands. 

The classrooms became vibrant with creative minds and ideas as both the students and their father figures tested their understanding of scientific and technological concepts by constructing roads and race tracks with an abundance of Ozobot commands.
