  • Year 4 Trip to the CLC – Lego WeDo Coding Adventure!

    Published 16/05/25

    Year 4 had an unforgettable experience during their recent trip to the Camden Learning Centre (CLC) in London! The day was packed with creativity, teamwork and digital discovery, all centred around the incredible world of Lego WeDo.

    Children were fully immersed in building, constructing, and programming their own devices. One of the highlights was a spinning fan that not only rotated in both directions but also played music, changed light colours, and made hilarious sound effects – many of which were recorded by the pupils themselves!

The visit sparked thoughtful discussion and close observation as pupils studied details within the paintings.

    Equipped with sketchbooks and pencils, the children had the opportunity to sit among the gallery’s rich collection and sketch elements that caught their eye. They focused on shapes, textures, and patterns, translating what they saw into their own creative designs.
