Yesterday, Year 5 visited the Natural History Museum to engage in a workshop about Earth and space.  They shared their knowledge about the planet Mars and learnt more about the  ‘Mars Rover’, after which, the children followed instructions to create their own rovers in groups using Lego pieces. To enable their rover to move, the children used a coding app to program their movements. They were then encouraged to add custom features, like: solar panels, so that their rover could collect energy from the sun to travel long distance; cameras to take detailed photos of the surface of Mars; and lights, scoops and grabbers to collect rocks. One group even wanted to experiment with a grow your own vegetable patch! Once the rovers were ready, the children conducted tests on various rocky surfaces, similar to the conditions of Mars. After the workshop, the children explored the museum, marvelling at the exhibits. Overall, from constructing and programming rovers to enjoying the museum’s fascinating displays, our children had a memorable and enriching day.
