With their creations assembled, they used their Chromebooks and coding skills to navigate their bots for the ultimate mission - clearing simulated sewer blockages which would be made up of wet wipes, fats, and other non-biodegradable materials.
Headteacher Sallie Elliott said: "We love to make our curriculum engaging and fun. It has been great to see the children learning so much today, without even realising!"
Leigh Brook, Computing Lead, said: "Coding is so important in our curriculum. Using it in such an unusual way really sparked their imagination."
