Year 5 have been working with Crumbles in their computing lessons over this half term. We have been very lucky that a school in Taunton has leant us these coding and programming kits. We have programmes on our computers to make lights flash in a sequence, then we attached a motorised wheel. We made a man ‘disco dance’ by sticking a picture of a man on the wheel and programming our crumbles to make the man dance, whilst the light was flashing different colours. We have also connected a switch to our circuit so that we could control our programme on a loop.

The children came into school in some amazing costumes for World Book day and many of them brought a creative potato for the competition – there were some amazing designs.
