In our Computing lessons, we’ve been programming Micro:bits!

We built on our previous coding lessons and explore the sensors that the Micro:bits have. First we made a night light. The sensor was programmed to detect the light and if it was dark, the Micro:bit would light up. 

Next we programmed the accelerometer sensor (that detects movement) so that when you shook the Micro:bit, it was display either rock, paper or scissors. We then had lots of fun playing against our Micro:bits or playing them against our partners!

Well done Year 6!

    It was really fun!

    I enjoyed it so much! I beat my microbit!

  4. I want to do it again.

  5. I really enjoyed this lesson! I played against Amber’s MicroBit, she played against mine and both of our MicroBits played against each other! I hope we can do something like this soon!

  6. I liked playing rock,paper,scissors with the micro bits .

  7. This Computing lesson was so fun because we challenged microbit v microbit to try a rock paper scissor challenge. It generated either rock paper or scissors randomly. To activate it, you had to shake it and it could feel the movement and it then randomly chose one of the three. It was fun playing against the microbit as well as playing microbit against microbit.

  8. Micro bits are really interesting , it helps us discover technology better .

  9. It was really fun . I found it really interesting!

  10. I loved connecting them!!! very enjoyable

  11. It was so fun.

  12. I loved using microbits and making codes

  13. This was very fun!

    This was really fun ! I love using micro bits !

  15. I honestly love using microbits

  16. It was really fun experimenting the different images you could make on the micro:bits.
