Tech

 This week for tech we were learning about how to use the micro bit to count our steps, it was very hard hard doin this but I really enjoyed doing this we also learnt how to measure how long was a single leg stride, Mrs Ferguson showed us some tutorials on how to measure our foot steps using the micro bits, we also learnt some other things about the micro bit, We learnt how to use the micro bit to mimic a dice it was also very fun do that here are some photos of the codes.

 

Sky Tower Trip

 

On our Sky Tower trip we were very satisfied, Our tour guide Mara and Cooper gave us a intro about them selves and how the Sky tower tour was gonna go, We learnt many things about the sky tower and why it was built in that specific places, Here is a fact the Sky Tower sways to about 1 meter side to side, Maria and Cooper said that you could feel it sway, The numbers of floors was very overwhelming.

Thanks to Mrs Patea for paying for our trip and I had a very exciting and I also felt like an Adrenaline junkie. 

Architecture

 WALT:We are learning to create accurate floor plans for building a house.

We used floorplancreater.net to do this. Here are my floor plans:

What I learnt from doing this activity is, I learnt what my house would look like if I had a blueprint of my house that I live in, I learnt that building industries build our house the way is it is so that it can be sustainable, the numbers of walls that could be used as support so that it could hold up the roof over our heads.

When I grow up, if I join the building industry I would like to be an Architect

Coding the Micro bit

 This week on Friday we had tech,We were learning about how to code with the micro bit that Miss Ferguson had given us,These Micro bits were a small sized chip the were very nimble,These Micro bits were built with a built-in LED,These LED's were the things that showed what we had coded to let the Micro chip know what code we have sent through the USB that was connect into our Chrome books,We used a website called make code,This website helped us code the micro bit there were a few tutorials,That Miss Ferguson had showed us,After the tutorials we were given a task to make the micro bit play,Rock paper,scissors,This task was very complicated.     

Coding with Python

 This week for tech we were learning how to use Python, Python is a code like program that we use to code the Micro bit , We used a micro bit as a testing device for our flashing heart and so on , We learnt how to create and do the flashing although it was quite hard we used a tutorial to show us how to code the flashing heart.

Here is my code for a flashing heart for my micro bit

When I grow up, I might want to be a coder

Here is a quick tutorial on how to do the flashing heart

PBL/Architecture

 
This week on Tuesday, We had just started our architecture PBL,Our task was create a list of words that connect to the housing industry.I had read a article as I was reading a article, There were different types of words that I knew but didn't know the meaning,I used these words on my list,I used my own words or past knowledge to find out what the meaning of the word meant.
