SLF Lego Rocked!!

We had the best time at the Scottish Learning Festival on Wednesday!  SLF Lego in the morning was brilliant and then we had a great time exploring all of the other stalls in the afternoon with Mrs Russell and Mrs Park.

Our morning was split into two sessions; Lego Challenge and either Stop Frame Animation or Green Screen Filming. 

The Lego Challenge was excellent - we got to make ducks, a giant, a spinning top and football goals and fans.  We used the WeDo Lego software to programme our models so that they reacted in a way that was specific to our design criteria.  It was so much fun!!


The Stop Frame Animation challenge let us create a model based on a giant creepy spider and then we continued to reposition and photograph it until our short film sequences were complete - our creepy spidery models liked to eat EVERYTHING!!

The Green Screen filming using iMovie was a favourite with everyone who tried it out.  We got to film ourselves as robots and then make us appear in different images on screen.  We then altered our voices to make ourselves sound even more roboty and we added musical effects.  The finished films are hilarious!!

Overall it was such an amazing day and we are now all very excited about sharing our knowledge of how the WeDo Lego software works with our friends in school.

Mrs Russell has made a little film of our day which we showed to our friends back in class on Thursday.   They were all really impressed!

We are really proud of our achievements and Mrs Russell said we were a credit to our school.
