Making Courses for coding robots

WALT: Make a course for the sphero robots.
Me and Maya's course has a bridge that goes over blue water and rocks. The bridge is made out of clear plastic so you can see the water underneath and there is also a tunnel that is now made out of cardboard. We tested out our course and the sphero can't go over the bridge but we have fixed it so there is a sign saying go over if you dare so people don't go over the bridge and they go around it on the side path.  Our next step is to code the robots to go over the course by itself and we don't need to drive it over.

Word problems

WALT: Answer questions using google drawings and show how we worked them out.
I enjoyed working all the very different problems. I found that it was quite challenging to show how I worked it out.

Transformation using grids

Today we got to draw a picture using grids and we could either use polyline or curve line and selected one to draw our picture but we got to do a koru and a tree to do before we did our own picture. I thought that the koru was hard at the start but then it was easier and the tree was harder because of the shading of the colours, but then it was fine.
Have you tried to sketch a picture using grids?

New Zealand

WALT: Find out different things about New Zealand
Do you know the Longest river in NewZealand?

Hints and Tips For a Litterless Lunch Box

WALT: find alternatives to waste in our lunch boxes
I enjoyed learning heaps of different ways to reduce the rubbish in my lunch box. I thought that thinking of the ways to reduce rubbish was challenging. Now I will try to stop buying bars in plastic I challenge you to stop buying one of the things in your lunch that has plastic on it.

My Maps

We learned how to use Google MyMaps and then we got to look closely at our own environment and locate landmarks. For each landmark we found we had to name it, write something about it and find an image of it so that the pin on our map had information on it. This is my finished map of Wellington. Have you ever used MyMaps to locate places in your community?

Our composting experiment #1

WALT: Write a science experiment using google drawings.
I enjoyed designing a Google drawing. I thought that thinking about how to write the information was challenging. To be better I could put some more detail in.
