Learning Beyond the Classroom

Anyone who has spent time at the Rampayoh sandpit recently can’t have helped but notice there has been a major project underway. For a number of weeks now, a group of children have been displaying a wealth of personal qualities as they transform the sandpit into a ‘Luxury Pool’, complete with steps, slides, sculptures, water features and even a bridge the children can crawl under. Well done everyone for your continued resilience, cooperation, reflection and creativity!

M2 students have been learning to program the Edison robot to complete everyday tasks. They have learned to program the robot using barcodes, Scratch and are now using Python to control the robot. Presently, they are applying their learning in a self-guidedassessmentchallenge to code Edison using Python to solveproblems.

To support the Fairgrounds inquiry the P6 students have been learning to use the Algaodoo physics simulator. They have simulated real world scenarios, such as a ferris wheel and balancing a car on an incline by manipulating materials, gravity and variables to observe the results.
