The capture

As we walk through the blazing hot sun using all our strength, we finally make it to the train station. When we were there, we saw Gracie setting there like a statue waiting for the train I tried to get her attention, but she would not look just then I saw a van driving up to Gracie. Immediately I realised who it was it was the man who sent me to that dreadful place where we were sent to be slaves Gracie realised who it was as well and started to run. The man jumped out and ran after her. Just then another man jumped out and run after Gracie, I could see the fear in her eyes. The man ran in front of her she turned and ran the other way, but she was stuck he gabbed her arm and shoved her in the van she screams to us as we watch her be taken away by the van

In Sphero I am working with Zara and we are making shapes.

First we had to do a square. We watched a video that tort us how to make a square with a loop. You have to add the loop and do 4 because a square has 4 sides and then you have to make a 90 degree turn so it will repeat 4 times. You also need to go forward for 1 second and at the end delay 1 second because then you have more time.

We also made a video.

Next we made a nonogon with 9 sides and you turn 45 so you just change the repeat to 9 and you do the same with all the other shapes.

We also made a pentagon with 5 sides here it is.

in the recording we programmed the sphero to say target detected and when it hit it’s target execute this is a picture of the coding.

this is the toss game coding. in the game the coding is that when you toss the sphero to the other player. if it’s tossed high enough it will make a random animal sound here is a demonstration of us playing it.

when you throw the sphero and it makes the animal sound you have to try and guess what animal it is. that’s how the hole game is about.

this is the hot potato game when it terns red that means it’s hot and you have to pass it to the other person, if you catch it while it’s spinning your out it does not mater how many people you have.

Now we are moving on to Java which is words. Our thing says hello square and then it makes a square. It does await and then says the speak which is hello square. Then the colours change and it does a loop which is the get-heading plus 90 which it repeats 4 times because a square has four sides. It turns red when at each corner and turns green when it is doing the lines. Above is the video.

In turtle art we have been trying to make polygons and trying to make our Beetle blocks design on turtle art this is what i had to make.

i made a hexagon and a couple more like an octagon and a nonagon. this is the code for a hexagon on turtle art more simple.

The coding on turtle art is forward 100 and left 60 then it repeats 6 times because a hexagon has six sides. The coding to this is very different to the coding in beetle blocks most of the blocks are different to turtle art for an example.

The code for beetle blocks is much different to turtle art this is how the coding is rearranged something like turtle art but not exactly it some blocks have a different meaning to it but most of it is the same like repeat.

Start extruding is what makes the line extend to get wider and wider. Start drawing is like pd in turtle art but instead it’s start drawing lines or curves. The move 3 is how big you want it to be so as you see on the photo move forward 3, if you made it 4 it would have stretched out a bit to make the polygon bigger.

Beetle Blocks

in beetle blocks we have been making polygons by coding my polygon is a hexagon this is my code for it

the code is quit simple first there is the repeat then there is start drawing then you need start extruding next is the simple one is to move 3 the final block is rotate z by 360/6 that is the code to make a hexagon

this is what i puled apart it used to be a calculator

this is my design of my calculator and the parts of it. it tells you what the parts are on the inside

in the art class i learned that Islamic art has lots of patterns.

We did a 12 sided star and coloured it in i loved it.

We dressed up in their traditional clothing. I had fun dressing up in a blue dress with jewels on it.

We were shown around museum were we learned about their beliefs.

We learned that they have five pillars that they believe in.

Camp was really fun i loved the activities my favourite is abseiling

we also did a pinnacle walk, archery, bush cook, high ropes and initiatives. i loved the food it was really yum that i wanted more the cabins were nice and they where comfy.

i think the interview was great it was funny and i learned the a kid named Jeremy can’t eat food so he has a hole in his belly and he had this tube that goes into the hole and the food goes through into his belly

draft one our theme is a spooky theme with spinning grave stones fairuswheel and vampires mouth inside the mouth is the hole. The motors that we are using are the gear motor and servo motor the next step after this is the coding for the gear motors we have to code the motor to spin and don’t stop. There are no more humming birds so we are using micro bit.

micro bit mini golf

this is some of the decoration that we are using

sorry that the video was blurry we had to use handbrake

we are moving on to Lego now

we are using the EV3 brick we are using the brick and putting Lego on the sides of the brick for it to stand up in the middle of our golf cores where the windmill. we will also add some obstetrical s that you have to get past.

video fail  good thing it didn’t break.

this is how our looks.

This is our finished project
