P7 Programming and using the Micro:bit to calculate area outside.
20th Mar 2026
Our P7 pupils thoroughly enjoyed their outside lessons today. Firstly this morning, they worked in groups to measure each others step length and calculate their group average step length. This afternoon they then programmed the Micro:bit as a step counter using variables and then used the Micro:bit to measure different areas of the school playground.The boys and girls learned new coding skills, had lots of fun and worked very well as a team.
