 LI: To follow a recipe to make corn fritters.

This week for tech we were cooking corn fritters and first thing is to get all the things that we are going to use and after that we were using a recipe to know what are we gonna cook, and we then followed the instruction that was given by Mrs Heka. My favourite part was to eat it and it was fun cooking with Giovanni. Giovanni and I were working together to cook the corn fritters, and it was so yummy and it taste so good.

LI: To make the mbot go around a race track.

Today Miss Ferguson challenged us to code the mbot to go around a racetrack. To do this the code needs to allow the mbot to sense the black line. When it can't find the line the mbot moves backwards and forwards until it corrects itself. 

I really liked this activity and my fastest lap time 52.94 seconds. Mr Dunn taught some of us how to use a formula to work out the speed. My speed was 0.17 metres per second which meant I came in 8th.

Tech

Today at tech me and the eothe year 8’s we were coding the mbots to make a stairway with a maker. Today we had to try and make the mbot draw a star.
Then we got chalk and started drawing stars on the stars outside. Then we started to decorate our star. When we finished our star we pretended to be the mbot and went in a star shape walking on the lines. The reason we did stars is because it was matariki week.

Learning Intention: To use infared sensors to follow the line.

Today at tech for robotics, we learnt about using infared sensors, to code our M bot to follow the line. We were making our mbots follow the line shape of the figure 8. We also went over the Binary learning we did last week, this is the way robots, computers and other technology work. I first started by choosing the code blocks I needed, they were the most important ones in the photo above, But before we did our task we made sure our M bots were working like making sure the M bots wheel's were tight enough and not loose.
