Grade 3 Technology and Inquiry

Over the next few weeks, Grade 3 will be exploring coding and our local history.

This week the Grade 3 students have been learning to code their very own robots! These robots are called mBots and the students use an iPad or computer based program similar to ‘Scratch‘ to program the mBots, which helps to teach coding. Students will be taught various coding ideas through stages, including: movement, sensing danger, sound, loops and many more.

For Inquiry, students have been exploring our local history. Students have been looking at the population growth in our local suburbs over the last 50 years. This has been linked to our mathematics with students graphing the growth over time.

We can’t wait for the little engineers and historians to tell you all about their experiences.
