Athletics 2020!

 

Last week we did athletics at the Westland Highschool. It was really good. I got a placing in everything. I got 1.08 in the High Jump and I got 2.95 in the Long Jump. We also had an option to do the 1000m's and I did. I got third in it. Athletics was really really fun because I tried my best and bet my personal best from last year! 

Media Takes Over!

 

We have been learning about different types of media. We were doing this so we could identify all sorts of media. I have used google drawing to make this poster. I liked doing this because I got to create something and it was quite challenging. I learned how to identify different types of media. What other types of media do you know about?

The Suitcase of Electronics

 Day:1 We met Mr. Kinane. He is a specialist in Digital Technology and Computational Thinking. We used a chip called a Micro Bit. We used it to make a paper scissors rock game out of code. Me and Jolan worked in a pair and we succeeded in making the code. It was really fun to play around with the micro.bit.

Day:2 On day 2 we hooked up 2 Micro Bits with a piece of code. That piece of code allowed us to chat with each other with the Micro Bits. Our challenge was to see how far we could chat from. We got it to chat from 243 paces away.

Day:3 On day 3 we used what was called a cricket and had a go at using the Micro Bits to make a mini gate. My group was the first group to get our gate working. It was quite hard because when I didn't work we had to figure out what was wrong and then Debug it.

Have you ever used Micro Bits before?
