Coding with Python

 LI:To see and understand the connection between the written code , the block and the flow chart.

This is the comparison between the Python coding , the blocks and the flowchart for making the Microbit act like a dice.Something I found interesting about expericing the Python coding is being able to understand the written codes and asking for help even when I am not confident.Something I learnt about Python coding is to understand the simple codings its trying to tell me to do.

Tech Reflection

LI: To make something out of the joint between the gap in the wood . 

For the first week of tech at Tamaki College with Mr Grundy for hard material . our first lesson were  to follow the instructions so we knew what the first step to do so we could get started to design our toy made out of wood . Mr Grundy first showed us his and his students have made out of wood and building equipment tools , Second we had to draw 8 designs we thought we could make out of the joint between the wood of our design and we what we would make out of one of the eight designs we drawn  . Something i found interesting and learnt was learning the structures of how to start a simple and creative design made out of wood . 

Decorating the tree

LI: To decorate the office Christmas tree

The purpose of our Design Technology challenge was to create a set of Christmas/Holiday decorations that represented our school and the people in it. We were given a design brief from Mr Johnston and a delivery date. To celebrate the end of this challenge LS2 delivered their completed decorations to Mr Johnston, then hung them on the tree in our school office. Mr Johnston was really impressed when we showed him our Christmas decorations and told us he liked that at the end of the decoration it said hand mand by our names . After we decorated the tree we went into friend groups so my group were Me , Ellenora , Sakshi ,Afatia , Diana and Tanisha .

Christmas decorations

 LI: make Christmas decorations  for our client 

This year  LS2 has been making sewing decorations for the PBS Christmas tree  for our client Mr Johnston . Before we started  our Christmas decorations we have made a mood board about all the materials we needed for our accessories  to decorate the outside of our design and what colour felt we needed for our decoration  , the four choices we had to choose from  who also celebrate christmas differently to New Zealand were Hanukkah, Eid ,Diwali and Christmas . From the four choices who celebrate christmas in a different place  I chose was Eid , as you can see my mood board that have different kind of christmas materials are the materials  I need to make a gingerbread man , Polar bear and the  Eid Christmas tree  , the colour felt I needed were yellow and white for the Eid tree, white and black for the polar bear and a light brown and white for the gingerbread man . When I started doing my Polar bear i started struggling but then after i got some i helped I knew I  had the confidence to do my sewing on my own and start understanding the process on my own . My opinion doing this challenge was trying something I thought i was bad at but turnt out i was really good , I am so proud of myself that I have created three Christmas decoration and i don't care if its not good like the others at least i participate and i made a Christmas design .  

Design Technology Challege

 LI: To design and make a holiday decoration that fits the client brief.

This year for our challenge we were to make sewing Christmas decoration for our client Mr Johnston  for our PBS Christmas tree . LS2 starting practising doing noughts and crosses before we started getting into doing our design so when we start getting more comfortable about doing sewing we could be able to get more creative with our sewing equipment on doing our design and slowly getting to understand the designing process .We were given an Evaluation sheet to fill in about our Christmas decoration , Something I would differently when we sew again is to do a more challenging decoration so I can improve more into sewing and then i could be able to be more creative on adding sequence's on my decoration then Ill be able to do my best to make it more noticeable and realistic so people know what my decoration is .  My opinion about doing this challenge has made me improve into myself because even though  this Is my first time sewing I thought I was bad and I was the only one  in LS2 who didn't know how to sew but then I realise You never know your really good at something until you try .
