An Exciting Camping for Y4!

In the month of October, an exciting camping took place.  Y4 spent three days in Villa Gesell and carried out some fun activities.


     
They left school early in the morning and traveled by bus with their equipment. The trip took 6 hours. When they arrived at the camping site, they explored the environment and met their tutors who talked to Y4 about the rules and instructions they had to follow during their stay. 
Once this was over, the children split in their groups and put up the tents.

 
 At night they went to a big hut to have dinner that was cooked by a chef. After every meal, every boy or girl had to wash their own dishes. Next, all Y4 reunited in the hut and went to play night games that were very amusing. When they went into the tents to sleep, a group had to evacuate due to a red ants invasion.
What a fright!


 On the second day, all Y4 went to an exciting expedition to the beach. There, they played fun beach games, including sand-boarding. During the night of the same day, they had a surprise party prepared by their tutors with games and music. This trip was an excellent opportunity for Y4 students to strengthen their friendship bonds and make new friends. In conclusion, this was a wonderful experience.

Meet the New Interactive Robot at School

Good news, a fun interactive robot has arrived at school! It is called Dash. You can do many things with it. You can program it to obey your orders or play with its lights. You can also make it follow a path you create, making noises on its way.



There is also a complex programing app called Blockly, very similar to Scratch. You drag and drop puzzle pieces with orders that make Dash follow them. Below there is an example of the instructions you can create.
Come back for some more news.

Visual Art in Action

Visual Art started creating amazing logos for other committees.

These are the the steps they took to create them.
  • First they drew all the ideas they thought about 
  • Then, they decided which were the best ideas and they scanned them into the computer
  • Next, with all their ideas defined, they put them all in the same poster and, they had their final draft created.
  • Finally they added colour and printed it.
  • Visual art is doing this with all the committees.


These are the logos they have already designed:
