The Bee Bot is Never Wrong!

  The Bee Bot.

Today we wrote instructions for a bee bot maze. First we had to plan the course and test it before we could make the track. My buddy had a little trouble writing his instructions. He was in my buzz group. It took us a while to write the instructions. In the end I finally got to making the maze. The bee bot moved fifteen centimeters each move. So we had to put the blocks fifteen centimeters apart. 

It took me a long time to measure out the maze. It took me five tries to get it right. It was frustrating at first. I learnt that you had to start the bee bot straight otherwise it would start knocking the blocks out of the way. After my five unsuccessful attempts - I did it!! 

It was a relief to be finished. 

Below are my instructions for Bee-Bot!!

     

             

Lighthouse metaphor

   Two weeks ago we  made a lighthouse on google drawings. We used polyline and the other tools to modify it. We had to come up with a metaphor to go with the drawing my one was (light the way).   I like it because it goes with the drawing. To me it means light up your learning and light the way. I love the Tuahine lighthouse.

When we made the google drawing I wasn't very good at doing that sort of stuff and now I'm really confident. When we created the shape of the lighthouse we used cylinders. Then we fiddled around with it adjusting it and all. Than I had a look at some of the drawing tools. there was polyline, curve and scribble. We drew the rust stains and all of the details. It was a lot of fun mucking around but then eventually the time ran out and we had to pack up. 👌    

 

Bee bot

The bee bot. 

The book was about the three billy goats gruff. When I finished creating the pictures of the story I started to make a grid for the bee bot to travel on . I measured 75 cm on each edge. The bee bot moved 15 cm every time you press the forward button. 

My first two attempts of programing the Bee bot were unsuccessful. On the first attempt I missed the second part of the story were the little billy goat gruff went over the bridge. On the the second attempt I missed the last one by three squares! On the third attempted I finally got it! It went to when the little billy goat gruff crossed the bridge , when the middle sized billy goat gruff crossed the bridge and finally when the big billy goat gruff bunted the troll of the bridge and crossed like the others. I felt really proud of myself for achieving the task.    

the tairawhiti environment sener heros

Hi my name is Archie last week we went to the environment senter with room one. when we arrived we walked through a metal gate and into the most marvelous garden ever. It had chillies capsicums garlic beans and lots lots more.  magnificent garden in the world. It had everything, 

We walked down a gravel path into a small room it had cans and bottles stacked to the ceiling. Then we went around the corner. there was another room with lots and lots of recycled stuff. there were even been bags full of plastic bottles.

we were split into groups and we were of.

FOOD

we went into a room full of food bread eggs lettuce and donuts and other goodies. They said that the supermarket was throwing all the stuff away! They also said that they were giving it to people in need. "My Mum worked here a wile ago!" I said. That's cool some people said. Then it was time to go we wondered what other activities there were.

THE GARDEN

The other group met us and we were of. They led us outside 

into the garden she walked us down the path and told us the names of the plants. She explained how they grew and how to keep them healthy

Finally she said that we could go and taste all the plants. I found a plant that I liked gathered some leefs up and walked around eating them. There were a few sculptures in the garden. All of them had plants growing all over them. it was great fun. then again someone announced that we were leaving to have morning. 

We got our lunch boxes and headed out to the garden to eat. 

Me Harry s and Harry m and Stavers sat down on a bench seat. we talked about motorbikes mountain biking and fishing. I finished my 

lunch and had a walk around tasting more plants.

COMPOST

We got called inside to discuss what other activities we were going

to do. We went of to the compost bin and and sat down.The specialist

came and and told us about all the layers there was a green layers and a brown layers. Here is a list of stuff that you can yous to make your own. Grass, leef , pee straw, weeds and deed plants. Layer it like lasagna a green layer than a brown layer. ceep doing this till the compost bin is full.

WORM FARM

We went to the bee crossing to wait for the other group to finish their task. The group eventually finished and put there gloves away 

and lined up to move. we went and got gloves thinking we were going to yous them. She led us over to the worm farm.it looked empty than she lifted the top layer and it was worms paradise. There were worms everywhere. She gave us a hand full of dirt. There was at least two worms in each handfull we played with them and named them. It was really fun.

 

LEAVING

we went into the room were we got sorted and talked about what we had been doing. Than it was time to leave we said good by and thanks for having us. we lined up on the gravel path to wait for the bus. It came grunting along. We piled on and it left.

YOU SHOULD GO TO!
