2JB Workshop with Junior Stem
Lesson: Science
Class: 2JB - Mrs Jones/Buckley Year: 2023 - 2024
We had a fantastic time in Y2 completing a Lego Fairground Workshop with Junior Stem.
First, we learnt the basic commands needed to program the Lego Wedo 2.0 software while making a simple model of our own design.
In the second part of the workshop we followed instructions to build the Fairground ride for the mini figures. Finally, we were encouraged to experiment with the programming as well as decorating and upgrading our ride to make it even more exciting.
The sounds of ‘ooo’ and ‘arrrr’ that tell you that the children have been wowed were brilliant to listen to throughout the workshops. The children were fully engaged with what they were doing and they had time to explore and investigate by themselves, making sure it was a fully hands on experience. The software was excellent, the Lego packs were brilliant and Nick the leader was amazing. A truly memorable day for our Y2 children.
