NXT Robot programming

The light sensor flicked on the robot was off. It was our session of robotics, Daniel and I were trying to make our robot follow the lines of our light sensor sheet. It was a success, the robot completely drove around the track. Darryn took a photo of Daniel and me with our robot."Now time to blog you two" he said.

Passion project selections

Today we had passion project selection, half the class wanted to do singing 201 with Nicola some were animation but this term I will be doing robotics which is lego robotics. I will build my robot then focus on making him play golf. I have also started to do a new timeline on my Affective study about J.R.R Tolkien. He was fighting in the infantry in World War I and he

also caught trench fever.

Gifted study

Today it was a whole hour of research. It was just long enough for me to finish my study on J. R .R Tolkien. Today I wrote some background info and also found three habits of mind they  were Striving for Accuracy  Creating , Imagining and Innovating and  Thinking and Communicating with clarity and precision. He has lived in France , England and South Africa. All I have to do now is to add in all the affects.



Thats all bloggers and peace out. 

Research! Research! Research!

Today I focused on getting all my background info in on my affective study. The person I am working on is John Ronald Reuel Tolkien. He is famous for his books 'The Hobbit', 'The Lord Of The Rings' and 'The Silmarilion'. He also participated in both World War I & II. He was born in Bloemfontein in 1892, and died in Bournemouth 1973. My study on him will be finished next term and I will present it to the rest of the class. 

100% ON Maths Buddy!!!!!!!

This will blow you away. If you read last week's blog then you will know that I have been doing Maths Buddy. This programme goes up to university level which is extremely impossible! I got 67% on Year 8 maths. If you read the title, you know that I got 100% on year 6 multiplication before I stopped to do the high level on university, my percentage was 33% 

That's all for now.   

Passion time

Today I had my first day on a different passion project, because, we finished our documentary for the MADE Awards last week.  This week, I chose a maths website called Maths Buddy. You can do all sorts of maths at all sort of year levels. First, you have to do the tutorial, and once you've done that, you complete a test.  Today, I worked at Year 7 and 8 number and decimals. My best score was 87% on Year 4 Multiplication. My best score on Year 8 decimals was 50%.

PEACE OUT BLOGGERS.

We made our own theme song!

Today we finished our documentary on dry ice for the MADE Awards. We spent time today fine-tuning our movie.  We re-recorded some voice overs, we adjusted the sounds of some voice overs so they all were clear to listen to, we made our own theme song using Garageband and inserted it to different parts of the movie, we added in some cool transitions to make the information slides look like they were a book and each page was being turned over. My favourite detail was our theme song we made.  It sounds really professional! Next week I will get to choose my own passion project!  I think I might possibly do some lino printing, but I will have a bit of a think about it over the weekend!
