Building an mbot

  L.I To understand how the mBot is put together so that I can fix it when something goes wrong.

Today, we took an mBot apart and then reassembled it. We then tested it with some code to make sure that it worked correctly.

Here are the parts of the mBot that I took apart.

Here is the code that I used to test that it worked.

current events

LI: To identify the author's purpose.

This week for Reading we learnt about author's purpose. Authors write for a purpose/reason. These reasons are to Persuade, Inform, Explain or Entertain (PIE).First we looked at Kiwi Kids News to find a article. Then, we made a copy of the Current Events DLO and answered these questions:

Why the author wrote the article?

Being a jedi in coding

 L.I to code a robot to try and make it move forward and back without touching it 

My robot will wait until i have pressed the onboard button before it does anything. We used an "IF - THEN - ELSE" block as this gives the robot two choices of things to do. We are using the ULTRASONIC  SENSORon the of the robot and we need to sense if something 10cm in front of it. IF something is 10cm or LESS in front of the robot , it will move backwards. IF something is NOT less han 10cm in the front of the robot, it wil move forwards (ELSE). This is all put into a forever block so that the robot constantly senses what is in front of it.

Reading Pathway

 LI: To show my personal journey through books

This week is book week at Panmure Bridge School, which means every class participates in a number of reading activities. One of our activities was to create a reading pathway that shows how my favourite books have changed over time. At the moment I like reading comic books because they are really intresting and cool.
