Computing- 3D Printing


Today the children were able to develop their understanding of manipulating digital 3D objects on 'Tinkercad'. They practised rotating objects in three dimensions, duplicating objects, and then used grouping and ungrouping to manipulate many objects at once. They were able to combine these skills to create their own 3D badge. Finally, the children had to consider the practicality of 3D printing the objects they had made. The images show what Bella designed on Tinkercad and what her final printed badge looked like. Watch the video to see her badge being printed in action.

SPAG Revision with a twist!

Today, in Year 6 we took our revision outside. The children split into 2 teams to run for the different 'Grammar Cones'. They had to take their chosen cone back to their team and challenge their peers to define the different terminology. The team to have the most cones, correctly defined, at the end of the game were the winners! Excellent teamwork Year 6!
