This week, 6C and 5P were lucky enough to take part in a Lego workshop led by Affinity Water. We enjoyed working together to build Lego robots which we then programmed to carry out water saving challenges. It was great fun to learn some coding and then see our robots moving.

A message from Zoe:

Dear Year 5P and 6C Students

I wanted to send a huge THANK YOU to every single student who took part in the LEGO Affinity Water workshops this week. I was so impressed by your fantastic teamwork, building and coding skills, and the incredible water-saving tasks you completed. You truly showed off your skills as engineers and environmental heroes!

And now for the most amazing news -  your school saved a total of 7,876 litres of water as a result of completing the tasks during the workshops. That is absolutely massive.  Keep looking for ways to save water at school and at home, and most importantly, keep working towards the goals you set in your pledges. Remember, every drop counts! 

Best wishes
Zoe

Pupil Voice

Louis: I am really grateful to have this amazing opportunity. I loved that we got to code our robots and make them move.

Ola: I liked how we got to build the robot with our friends and how we got in groups of 4 and 5. I had fun and enjoyed it.

Ella: I really liked the workshop because it taught us teamwork and how to not waste water . The challenges they gave us were tricky at times but were fun.

Savannah: What I enjoyed most was being able to learn coding and saving water. A fun fact I learned was that out of 100 drops of water, only one is drinkable.

Ronnie: It was fun working out how to code and operate robots. We could do test runs. I've never seen Lego which is Bluetooth.

Olivia: I found the Lego workshop fun and I think it really tested my patience and how well I work with people. When I was coding, I found it funny when you could make your robot talk.
