Living Art
This year we are extending throughout the whole of Primary the project "Living Art". This was begun a few years back in the 1st Year, where the children have been creatively introduced to renowned artists from different periods.
New course, new extracurricular activity… as in previous years, we continue investigating in the broad range of activities offered to children outside the school curriculum, looking for those that may most interest our students. This year we present Lego Robotics by Lego Education, a school within the field of new technologies that combines the programming language with a more playful part. What is today referred to as “gamification”: learning through play. What better game to build and create through Lego pieces, with which we have already played two generations? As if our creations we add a motor and a few orders of movement launched from a computer or tablet, now we get as a result a small robot. In addition, it is taught entirely in English to enhance the use of technical vocabulary in this language.
Thursday the company Robotics Area was at our school to show students from 1st primary up to 2nd from that what is the activity and the material being used.
The school is divided into two groups:
Students spent a fun time manipulating the Lego pieces and checking the relationship between orders in the tablets and the movements of the prototypes. Our teachers also found them very interesting… Some teacher had who asked if he could sign up also! But the maximum age is 14 years 😉
