Coding with Python

 LI: To see and understand the connections between the written code, the block code and the flow chart. 

This is the comparision between Python coding, the blocks and the flowcharts for making the Microbit act like a dice. 

Flow chart and Radio Chat

 To understand how flowcharts relate to coding blocks. 

To understand how to get the microbit to talk to another microbit using radio signals.

Here is my flowchart practice document.

The next activity today was coding the microbit to send a radio signal to another microbit. We had to make sure that both microbits were on the same group number so we didn't accidentally get a message from another group.

Flowcharts & Dice

 LI: To learn how to use flowcharts to plan coding. 

Our focus this week in Tech is to learn how to use flowcharts during planning coding. A flowchart shows the steps of a problem as boxes of various kinds, and their order is shown by connecting the boxes with arrows. In this DLO shown below, we have practiced creating a flow chart based on rolling dice. 

In this activity we used micro-bits to roll these dices. The flowcharts were based on these micro-bits activities. 

I really enjoyed this weeks Tech learning, because i'm starting to become more familiar and better at coding which will and can benifit my learning. I'm looking forward the the learning next week. 

Being a Jedi in Coding

 

LI: To become a coding jedi, by trying to control our mbot's directions. 

My robot will wait untiol I have pressed the onboard button before it does anything.

We used an "IF - THEN - ELSE" block, as this give the robot two choices of things to do.

We are using the ULTRASONIC SENSOR on the front of the robot and we need to sense if something is 10cm in front of it wil move backwards. IfF something is NOT less than 10 cm of the robot, it will move forward (ELSE). Thisis all put into a forever block so that the robot constantly senses what is in front of it. 

Woodwork Plan | Tech

 L.I to plan to create your woodwork design. 

This week in Tech, we were working towards making our wood-word designs, by creating a design on paper. The design that I have chosen to create was a Old-fashion car. WIth all of our designs, they all needed to have a joint. 

I really enjoyed this weeks Tech, because I am working towards my goal, to create this car. 

Last week of Tech | Science

 L.I to learn about the Leaf Structure.

This week, was the last week that PBS had at tech for the year. The last lesson that Mrs Sharma had taught us this week was about the Leaf Structure. In this image above, The Yr 7's went around the Tamaki College and collected different leafs. after collecting these leaves, we glued them into our books and wrote the description of each leaves(Size, Texture, Color, Thickness & Pattern). There are different parts of the leaf structure. First is the Photo Synthesis. The Palisade cells traps the light from the top, this is why there are are different shades from the upper and bottom part of the leaf. There are more partsto a leaf which you can watch in this video. Link. 

I really enjoyed this weeks lesson about a Leafs Structure, because I didnt know much about the topic, so it was very interesting. 

This was the last week of Tech, so we were slightly sad to have this ended, because LS2 really had a lot of fun at Tech.

I really enjoyed Robotics beause I have never done something like that before, and because of how we got to use Mbots. Thank you Mrs Ferguson.

I really enjoyed Food Tech, because I learnt how to make dinner for my family and it was very interesting, learning about Hygiene. Thank you Mrs Hecker. 

I really enjoyed learning about Science because, I really got to experiment new things and got to build up my knowledge of Science. Thank you Mrs Sharma. 

Mapo Pork & Egg Plant | Tech

L.I to learn how to create a dish. 

This week at Tech, LS2 Yr 7's, had learnt how to create a meal. This meal goes by the name of Mapo Pork & Egg Plant. In pairs of 2, we were both spilt to make the meal. I myself and everyone else, enjoyed their meal. Here are images from the day. 

Food Technology | Hot Cakes

L.I To follow a recipe to make hot cakes. 

This week in Food Technology(Tamaki College), Mrs Heka had taught us how to make hot cakes. Afatia & I, had worked togehter to create the Banana Hot cakes, with berry surup. 

The Ingredients that we used were:

• Self Rising flour - One Cup
• Margerine/Butter - 2 Teaspoon
• Sugar - One Teaspoon
• Banana - One Banana
• Berry's - Limited amount
• 1 egg(two if chunky)
• Milk - 3/4 of milk

The equitment that we used was:

• 2 measuring cups
• 3 bowls(Large, Mideum and Small)
• Spatualla(Metal)
• Wisk
• Wooden scoop
• Rubber scraper
• Measuring spoons
• Pan
• Small pot

The first thing we did was put the Flour and sugar in the larg bowl. We did the same with the Milk in egg but with the Medium bowl. Next we put the Berrys in a little pot and 4 teaspoons of water and 2 teaspoons of sugar in the bowl. In a seprate bowl we smoshed the banana with a fork. After all of the ingredients have been done. we had then put the batter in the pan,

And our masterpeice was done.

We added ice cream, and we ate it without regretting each bite. I cant wait for next weeks tech. 

Food TECHnolgy

L.I to learn and pratice knife skills.

As LS2 is in Term 2, we are now know doing Food Technology. Our teacher was Mrs Hecka, from Tamaki College. What we first did was get asignned seats(I got to be a Dish-washer), which their were two(Cooker or Cleaner). I had to clean Afatia & Ong's equiptment that they had used. The first thing that made was a Colourful fruit salad, The ingredients were:

1. Choice of Yogurt
2. Choice of fruits

The equitment that was needed was:

1. Measuring cups
2. Measuring spoons
3. Two different cutting boards.

 Next we learnt how to cut and peel the fruits(knife skills). For the kiwi and oranges, we first had to cut the side of the fruit(where the green part is). Next you slowly peel the sides of. For the orange, once you peel the skin of, their are lines, where you cut diaginally from. 

After the the cutting the fruits, we got to put a choice's of fruits into a cup and over that, we had layered a cup of yogurt. We then continued this process,

 and our masterpeice was created.

I really enjoyed this weeks tech because we all had jobs to do and it was just one person doing all of the work, and I deffinellty loved the food. I cant wait for the next weeks tech.
