In December, Year 6 entered the BBC Gladiators Micro:bit competition as part of their computing unit exploring the history of computing and how it has developed.

For the competition, they needed to design an innovative gadget which uses the pocket-sized Micro:bit computer to enhance the performance of the Gladiators and help them with their training.

We have just received news that one of our entries (the Box Beeper designed by Annabel, Evelyn and Matthew) has been shortlisted to the final 50 entries and will now move forward to Round 2 of the judging process, where a winner and three runners-up will be selected.

Needless to say, just making it to the final 50 in the country is a fantastic achievement! Well done Year 6 for your hard work and congratulations to Annabel, Evelyn and Matthew.
