We have been enjoying our new Computing topic, where we are programming Crumble micro controllers. So far we have programmed a light show using the sparkles and used the motors to rotate our dancing man.

We used our trip to Hollingworth Lake as our inspiration to use charcoal to produce our water scenes. They turned out fantastic even if we were covered in charcoal dust by the end of the lesson.

We had a task to separate a mixture of different solids. We looked at different methods including magnetism and sieving. We used tin foil trays to make our own sieves. We started with smaller holes and then made them bigger to separate the different materials.
