One story, different endings

The students of the third grade were given a creative task. In pairs they were supposed to create their own story which begun with the given words: "One sunny day little Chris found a piece of paper with a ribbon. There was a castle and a map leading to it on the paper. The route to the castle went through different countries, each one was different, each one was beautiful..."
Children finished the story and took their little helper on the tip with them - Ozobot, a robot which they use during lessons. Everyone finished the task.

Here are some pictures:

Dancing Birds

The second grade students enjoyed with Antonio, building and programming a couple of "Dancing Birds." 

They used the robotics set LEGO WE DO. 

The activity is proposed by 

 SALAMANCA CIUDAD DE SABERES

First Lego League: Hydrodynamics

Here we go again!
We are getting ready for the new challenge...

First Lego League Salamanca

Every year, FIRST® LEGO League releases a Challenge, which is based on a real-world scientific topic.

Each Challenge has three parts: the Robot Game, the Project, and the Core Values. Teams of up to ten children, with at least two adult coaches, participate in the Challenge by programming an autonomous robot to score points on a themed playing field (Robot Game), developing a solution to a problem they have identified (Project), all guided by the FIRST LEGO League Core Values. Teams may then attend an official tournament, hosted by our FIRST LEGO League Partners.

FIRST LEGO League challenges kids in over 80 countries to think like scientists and engineers.  During the ANIMAL ALLIES season, teams will choose and solve a real-world problem in the Project.  They will also build, test, and program an autonomous robot using LEGO MINDSTORMS® technology to solve a set of missions in the Robot Game.  Throughout their experience, teams will operate under the FIRST LEGO League signature set of Core Values, celebrating discovery, teamwork, and Gracious Professionalism®.

On Saturday, February 25, one of the qualifying tournaments is held in Salamanca:

The stage for the tournament is a very emblematic building of our city:

 HOSPEDERÍA ARZOBISPO FONSECA.

Our school, SANTÍSIMA TRINIDAD  will be represented in the FIRST LEGO LEAGUE JUNIOR. 

Here is a picture or our team. We feel really proud. 

BLUE BOT the little robot

Pupils aged 7 and 8 learn how to program (skills in the new french schedule) with the help of a little robot called BLUE BOT.

This robot offers many possibilities and can be used from the nursery to the olders pupils of Primary.

You can work not only on programmation but also on different skills such as cooperation, spatial move and direction, mathematics skills or study of language.
