Rock Paper Scissors

 LI:To learn how to code the micobit to play rock paper scissors and understand how the flowchart matches the code.

Link To DLO

1. When I shake the micobit, it will choose random number between 1 and 3.
2. I have to make a variable called hand and set this to the random number.
3. If the number is 1 - the micobit will show the symbol for paper.
4. If the number is 2 - the micobit will shwo the symbol for rock.
5. If the number is 3 - the micobit will shwo the symbol for scissors.
6. Something I found interesting about doing this taks is being able to understand the steps of coding.

Tech Reflection

 LI: To draw our design that we thought we would make .

Today for our second lesson at Tamaki College building with Mr Grundy was to draw a design we thought we would make out of the eight designs we had already drawn during the session . First we got a paper and a piece of wood and draw the joints where it would hold the design all together and the design i was doing is a chest of drawers where you can open and close the draw that is holding all the accessories you have , been wearing . Something i found interesting  about learning how to use a wood joint to make things that can make your accessories easier to grab and put back .   

2020 tech flection

 LI: To make a Reflection about 2020 tech . 

This year i have just attended at PBS and i was abit shy going to my first tech class  and even going to another school to learn other stuff i didn't know about yet the first class. The first tech class i had was about learning technology,robotics with Mrs ferguson, something i found interesting learning about robotics was that how i  learnt about different technologies and learning about mbot , Mbot is a different kind of technology material and you have to use coding to control the settings and to control the movements . The second tech class in my second rotation was cooking tech with Mrs Heka , Something i found interesting about the cooking skills you have to have  like using the knife and if your in a kitchen of three you know how you canus eone station together , how you can  spilt your big meal between a small family . My last rotation was science and what i learnt in science made me more confident about how science is important to us and what science is and how science is important to us . I really enjoyed doing the three rotations of tech because i like the different types of rotation we were given because its different for me from moving to primary to Intermediate . 

Why plants are important to us ?

 LI: Why plants are important to us , animals , environment ?. 

Today for our last session at tech we learnt about why plants are important to us , animals and our environment. Mrs Sharma let three groups four to go and get at least 10 different leaves each and then write a table and we have to write the number of the leaves we have the size the texture , colour and the pattern the was on the leaves , The group i was with were Afatia, Liletina , Tanisha and me were we getting exasperate because we kept on getting the same leave and not knowing until we check again . Something i found interesting was learning more about plants and why they are important to our environment.

 LI: Learn about the high and low amount of  sugar and if it is good or bad . 

Today for Tech Mrs Sharma  showed us that putting a 50 gm of pepsi on top of a bunsen burner can turn into burnt sugar or crystals and made sure we knew  the exact amount of sugar that is in a product . Next Week is our last week doing science with Mrs Sharma so we had to  be creative and explore the food we eat everyday that has sugar in it and tell how much sugar is in that food ,i worked with Afatia and we both came  up with good ideas that we could tell Mrs sharma what food had sugar in them and explain the different meaning that links to the question . We all had a booklet that we cutted and we had to write the food product and amount of sugar and our results we gathered up in the end to find out the Answer to food product and high amount of sugar and food product low amount of sugar so the answer we had was pink lemonade that was the high amount of sugar that equal  29 gm of sugar and weetbix that only had 1.0 gm of sugar . Something that i found interesting was learning about the different type  amount of sugar we eat everyday . 

Tech : Science with Mrs Sharma

 LI: To identify the different types and uses  of plastic .

Today at tech we had an activity where we had to listen carefully and think carefully  by arranging  our strips of  our questions and answers  in the  right place: Positive, Negative, Neutral . We had different types materials like Metal,plastic,paper,wood and fabric on a sheet of paper where we had to look around carefully  around the science room and write what furniture or decorations  , equipment are made out of those materials like an example is my first material was what is made out of metal like i saw scissors , Heater, Sharpener and the white board frame . Our task was to sort out the questions about plastic and sort them in which is positive , negative , neutral and explain why we thought that  if our answers were different to other peoples answer .

LI: To identify what we know about about science . 

Today Year 7's had there next rotation in Science with Mrs Sharma . Our topic  today was learning about steam and different kind of Science equipment scientists normally use in there science lab , While we were listening  and looking carefully to Mrs Sharma about the  different equipment she was showing us so when Mrs Sharma shows us the equipment we could be able to explain what it is .  We were aksed three questions and told to write it on the AV3 about what you think scientist do and would you  like to become a scientist and what scientist would you like to be  , Me and Juel buddie up and shared our answers together and asked why then when we were finished we got to write what question we wanted to find out and my question was ( Why do we need trees to have oxygen ? ) . I really enjoyed  learning new words of science and differen equirement 

 

Tech Reflection

Today our 1st session of Tech was at Tamaki college. The Year 7’s did robotics with Mrs Ferguson. Mrs Ferguson was showing us how to do coding,we moved on to the next step of coding.Our second session today was how to make noises on our mbot and how to change the colours .We had to fill this sheet out we it said our input and algorithms ,algorithms mean a process of setting rules,a example is like do not go without me giving you an algorithms(rules). Then Mrs Ferguson told everyone to sit around a table near the screen ,then Mrs ferguson showed us some slides with example of how to do the making noise.Then after Mrs Ferguson finished talking we made our way to our tables where our mbots are.Then I plugged my cable in my computer and then I put the other half of the cord into the mbot. Then I went on the site Mbot and then I used some codes to make the mbot make noise.
