Technology: Graphics


Mālō e lelei, for our first lesson in tech we started off by coding a dice on the Microbit labeled as Graphical Dice. Below is a screencastify of the simulated Dice in action.

 

Lesson 2: Step Counter 


The second code we coded on the Microbit was a step counter.To make this work we slipped the microbit into our shoe/pocket and the microbit would count our steps on the leg the microbit was in. Here was the code.



A similar code we coded measures your stride from our steps.

Architecture

WALT: We are learning to create accurate floor plans for building a house.                                                 We used floorplancreator.net to do this.                                                                        Here are my plans.

What I learnt from doing this activity is before building a house you need a 

  • Floor plan.
  • Where the rooms are going to be.
  • The measurement of the house .
  • And if the door goes in or out. 

If I joined the building industry I would like to be a engineer.

Kiwi can - Week 2 Discussion

Today room 7 went to Kiwi-can. We learned a lot of things and also played super cool games. We learned the importance of why you should tell the truth. If your friend tells you to cover for him, so he can go to a rugby game. You would want to back him up, but to do the right thing instead of lying, always tell the truth. No matter who the person is or what the situation is, still show integrity.

Coding the Microbit



Today for tech , Room 7 were learning how to code a Microbit. Every time I shake the microbit, it will randomly pick a number from 1 to 3. But the numbers are shown either as Rock , Paper or Scissors. Number one will be shown as Paper , Number Two will be shown as Rock and Number 3 will be shown as Scissors.
