Tech (Robotics)

LI: To learn the basics of how to code an mbot.

As it is currently level 2 of the lock down we carried on like it was like a normal school day and went to tech at Tamaki College. For tech we had a new subject which was robotics and our teacher for today was Miss Ferguson. With robotics we were given a mbot which is a type of coding robot. Mbot can do all sorts of things like move in different shapes and move forwards and backwards. First we learn the basics of how to code an Mbot. The movements that we had to put in out Mbot was to make it move into a square which is not hard. We had to precisely get it to move at a 90* angle then do it again until it reaches its starting point. Then at the end of your coding to make it more interesting we had to make a victory dance when it reaches the end so it can be proud of its self for making it.

Ancestor Poem

LI: Is to write a poem to describe your ancestors using the literary devices of alliteration, onomatopoeia, metaphor, simile, hyperbole and rhyme.

For my poem I added some power full words like, my ancestors gave me the strength to be the person who I am right now. When writing my poem I thought about my culture and the cultural things that we do in Niue .Sometimes whenever I read these I feel so many emotions inside me just from reading my own poem.

We had to work in partners which my partner was Lukah, I really think that Lukah and I worked well because we had the same thinking which I really liked

Fishing Maths Problem

L.I: Is to find the most affection way to solve a strategies.

This week for maths I had to make a google drawing to solve a really simple equation. This question was kind of tricky but at the end I got there. I worked with Chris, which was the best choice since we both had the same ideas about the question. We also included the rule which was Multiplying the number by three then subtracting 1 from it.

Koukouratata

This week for maths I had to make a DLO explaining the strategy I used to solve this equation. This was a really fun challenge to do since it got my brain going. I would sometimes not get it but at the end I got there. The thing that I liked about this task was that I could work with my friends, making use communicate on things that we got confused with and combine our knowledge to find the answer.

Extra Research - Haiku

                     
LI: Is to write a DLO that explains the history around Haiku

Haiku is a really old piece of poetry. It has been around ever since the 1700s. I found this task really interesting because of the new things that I learnt about this poet and the founder. The thing that I found interesting was that it was created in the 1700s. My reaction to me reading this was WOW! that is so amazing.

LI: Is to write a DLO explaining about the achievements that Tom Moore did.

Wow I can't believe Tom Moore has done a lot of work through out his past years and his birthday has just passed making him 100 which is a great achievement for living the game of life. Also he achieved his goal of walking around his 25 meter garden 100 times. If I would be honest that would be really hard for his age. The thing that I liked about this task was that I got to learn a lot about Tom Moore which was really fun.

I'm really proud of this drawing because I thought about this really hard and then it turned out  how i imagined it to be.

John Adams Composer

                     
So many singers had inspired other people to be just like them. But the question is who inspired them to be a great singer that they are. These people can be from the 17s or the 18's, this is so great to learn about all the people that kept on inspiring other people to be like them. Some people would call these people Composer. I decided to write about John Adams because of how exiting his music and catch's people's attention when he is playing pieces of his music. I also added in a special character that you can find doing all sorts of funny things, her name is which is a pig part pig and part alien.
