Being a Jedi In Coding

LI: To use our coding skills to move to a robot backwards and forwards.

 

 

For this week for tech with Mrs Ferguson. This week we learnt about ultrasonic sensor. On our M bot we learnt to code our robot in a way that when we upload the code to the robot it will move forward until it senses my hand and then moves back as I more my hand towards my M bot. In the front of the M bot their are two little sensors where we will learn to code. After coding our M bots the ultrasonic sensors will detect something 10cm infront of the bot.  I enjoyed being in Mrs Ferguson coding class because I got to code a M bot to sense something 10cm away from it.

LI: To create a DLO about Stan Walker song Climb.

For this task we needed to make a DLO about Stan Walkers song Climb.Facts about Stan Walker Song was that Climb was released in 2009. His song talked about how you have to keep on going even though life is rough. During the song one of the phrases he used was really good, it was “you just have to keep your head up.” I liked this task because Bigger from stan walker is one of my favorite song.

CARE Award Gold Respect

 LI: To make a DLO about a Respect New Zealander.

For the last task in Gold Respect, this task was about making a DLO about a respected New Zealander. I chose Steven Adams because I already knew a bit of information on him. I picked Steven Adams for this task because, for me he was a respected leader. Why, Steven Adams is a respect New Zealander because he was one of the first maori basketball player to make it into the New Orleans Pelicans basketball team.

Cinquain Poem

LI: To write a cinquain poem that descirbes a polar bear.



 

We have been learning to write cinquain poems to help us strengthen our connections to description. A cinquain poem has 5 lines. Each line has a different purpose. Line 1 is a noun which is a name. Line 2 has 2 adjectives taht describe the noun. Line 3 has 3 verbs that end in ‘ing’ and describe the actions. Line 4 is a noun phrase which is a group of words (not a sentence) that go together to describe the noun. Line 5 is a synonym which is a word with a similar meaning to the noun. I enjoyed this activity because I learnt a new type of poem that describes something or someone.

My Reading Pathway

 LI: To show my personal journey through books.

This week is book week at Panmure Bridge School, which means every class participates in a number of reading activities. One of our activities was to create a reading pathway that shows how my favourite books have changed over time. At the moment I like reading books by Raina Telgmeire because her book are full of adventures that the main charatchers have.
