Digital leaders at Winstanley Primary School – pupils aged nine to 11 – ran a computing event for year five and six teachers.
They went through how to get started with micro:bits in their classrooms and programmed a basic fit bit, which allowed them to explore the in-built buttons, LEDs and sensor for detecting movement.
The session was held to help teachers learn about the new technology and to promote physical systems in other primary schools.
