The Year 6 pupils at Stamford Junior School have engaged in an exciting new part of the curriculum - computing using 'Sphero' Robots!Every pupil within the Year 6 cohort (75 students), has had a chance to use the Robots, with Years 4 and 5 next in line to take on the challenge. The children were tasked with creating an obstacle course, featuring tunnels and ramps, which they then coded the Robots to make their way through. Year 6 Sphero Robots
