On Wednesday this week in SEK, Technology teamed up with its’ good friend Maths to join and collaborate with their extended cousins Arts and Expression to create exciting and interesting activities for Grade 3.

Sphero is the world’s most awesome robot ball that you control from your smartphone or tablet. Grade 3 students were introduced to the advanced yet easy to use ways of the Sphero and everyone had turns playing around with the technology and getting comfortable with the controls. We completed basic tasks and had a brief look at the coding capabilities of this cool little ball.

Our idea is to use Sphero more and more over the coming weeks, to develop our understanding of coding and our ability. We will be making shapes, using colour to express emotions and photographing movement to create art pieces.

Just like our world, Sphero provides endless possibilities and we are very excited to explore them together and see what we can achieve.

Stay tuned!
