Control and Instructions
In ICT we have been giving instructions to control some beebots (floor robots) and cars. This week we built mazes using different construction blocks and then programmed the beebots to travel through the maze. The Blackbirds collaborated in small groups to make their mazes and did a fantastic job! They even used a couple of beebots in the same maze to try and race each other.

Plants
Blackbirds have been learning all about growing plants. They have grown some plants in class and found out about how plants grow and how to keep them healthy in ICT. They have drawn their own animated pictures to show you how they grow.

Hector and E-Safety
This week the children have met a new friend. His name is Hector and he is a dolphin. He swims on our computer desktops at school. He is there so that when we use the computers and internet if we see something that makes us feel confused or scared we can click on Hector. A big picture of hector swimming in the sea and some calm water music plays and covers the screen completely while you ask an adult for help.
While our internet filter blocks inappropriate material from the children we do use search engines which can show them pictures of things they don’t like or that scare them like spiders or snakes. Hector has been introduced as a way for children to cope with this.
If you are interested in finding out more or downloading Hector for a home computer you can find out more here
