On the morning of the Big PIE (Primary Inspiration through Enterprise) Challenge, the pupils participated in two activities – one engineering based and the other coding. With the help of Ian Murray from Pro Training and Mrs Stephenson – we successfully attempted the tasks set.
For the engineering activity, the pupils were required to build a small toy plane and then had to measure the distance the plane flew. Jack and Maizey both threw 6.25 meters.
The children completed the coding task on a website called Coding Combat. During this, the children played a game which required the use of coding to get through each level. Joseph, George, Quincy and Sophia got to Level 14! We were thrilled. The challenge was to see how far each pupil could progress within the game. Many children completed the levels and prizes were awarded. Team work, creativity, resilience and perseverance were needed to complete the tasks and all children excelled at this.
Our Pieoneer Ian Murray UK Managing Director of PROTRAINING said,
““What a fantastic group of pupils from Reid Street Primary, they all really engaged in the project Stage 1 and were keen to mirror their achievements from last year. It’s not often you leave a building feeling refreshed and energised but that’s exactly how I felt upon leaving the school premises. Joanne and Hilary are exceptional teachers and with them at the helm of the project, I just know that they will be a success”.
