Year 4 Robotics Workshop

Year 4 enjoyed an engaging workshop with a visiting robotics company. The session centred around bringing Ted Hughes’ “The Iron Man” to life, using LEGO robotics kits. Pupils worked collaboratively to design and build their own Iron Man robots, showing great teamwork as they planned, constructed and solved problems together. After building the robots, the children programmed them to move, light up and even speak, using sensors, so that the robots responded to their environment. Excitement filled the room whenever the Iron Man reacted to someone’s presence. The workshop was not only fun, it also introduced pupils to the basics of robotics, programming and STEM engineering through hands-on learning. The visit inspired creativity and curiosity, with many children expressing a keen interest in exploring technology and robotics further in the future.
