This week we had a visit from the CSIRO and got to play with the simple Bee-bot robots. We worked in pairs to give our robots simple instructions (by pressing the arrow buttons) so they could move along a grid. We had lots of fun but soon realised how important it was to give clear directions.  Some of our robots went walkabout but we soon got them back on track!

We have just read the book “Who Sank the Boat” by Pamela Allen.  At the end of the story the  boat sinks.  We  had  a discussion about which animal made the boat sink. Some thought it was the mouse, who was the lightest of all. What do you think? 

We then decided to do some science experiments to find out what things in the  classroom float and what sink.  First we had to make prediction and then test these out.  Take a look at our photos as we  test our predictions.
