Tech

LI: To learn how to code an m-bot to sense something, by using the force.

Today at Tamaki College I went to robotics with the year 8's. In robotics we focused on using sensors by using the force. We first learnt about ultrasonic, which means sound waves that can't be heard by people. Once we learnt about ultrasonic, we started coding our m-bots on m-block to sense our hand, so it goes the other way. When we did our codes, we wrote the input, algorithm and output of our code on a google slide and included a video showing our mbots sensing our hand.

Cityscape of Sydney

LI To write a description of my Cityscape using prepositions. 

 On the right hand side of my Cityscape there is the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Did you know it is 97 years old? The Sydney Harbour Bridge is the widest long-span bridge and the tallest steel arch bridge in the world.  On the left hand side beside the bridge is the Sydney Opera House which is one of the most famous performing art centres in the world. Suncorp Place beside is one of the tallest buildings in Sydney. The oldest building in Sydney is the Elizabeth Farm. I had blended the colours purple, red and blue. In the middle of my cityscape, I have a reflection of my silhouette of Sydney, Australia.   

Food Techhnology

Today at tech the year 7's went to cocking with Miss Heka. First we had to grab are stuff then we had to grab are measure cup and and we had to measure the fruit yogurt.Then Miss Heka showed us same knife skills.Also we had to make colourful fruit salad.

The ingredients were..

1. Yellow and green kiwifruit
2. Grapes
3. Orange

Then Miss Heka showed us how to remove the skin from the fruit and we had to cut off the ends to stop the fruits from moving. And then we had to put the cut up fruit into the cup and then we had to add the yogurt on top then we had time to eat it after that we went back to school.

  

Word Cline: Sad

LI: To find 5 interesting words that increase in intensity (have a stronger meaning) as you move up the line. 

Today we used the thesaurus to make a word cline for the word ‘sad’. As the words go up the line they become more powerful. Here is an example of a sentence I wrote today using my word cline. I am always depressed on the weekends because I get bored.

The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs

LI: To retell True Story of the 3 Little Pigs in my own words

Today my group read the True Story of the 3 Little Pigs. After listening to the story we used the retelling pathway to help us retell the main events in pairs. My favourite part was when the wolf was trying to get sugar from the pig and the reason why I like it is because I like him blowing brown the houses. 

I made a Screencastify so you can listen to me retell the story in my own words.

Lockdown Memories

LI: To create a digital time capsule of our lockdown memories.

We used images and words to tell the story of our time in Alert Level 4 and in Alert Level 3. The most important part of this time was keeping ourselves safe, being with our families and keeping our learning going. My favourite memory is being able to stay up all night.

Word Cline..big

LI: To find 5 interesting words that increase in intensity (have a stronger meaning) as you move up the line. 

Today we built a word cline for the word ‘big’. As the words go up the line they become more powerful. Here is an example of a sentence I wrote today using my word cline. There is a gigantic building in the city.
