Term 2 Immersion Assembly

The beginning of each school term, here at Pt England School, begins with a special assembly where the teachers and management immerse the kids in the concepts, ideas, images, vocab etc. of the school wide inquiry topic for the term.
Term 2 of this year our inquiry has a Technology and Social Studies focus around, among other things: finding our way, mapping, measuring, calculating, coding, controlling and we have given it the title "I Like Your Latitude"

As our contribution to the Immersion Assembly we, the management team, put together a little performance illustrating the use of coding to control a robotic device. Below is the back drop to our little skit.

During the term break I constructed an upscaled, larger than life working model of R5D4, a droid from the Star Wars movie "A New Hope".
