Term 4 Goals

My goals for Term 4 are:
Reading, To read more books. I used to read more, but recently I have started reading less, so that is why my goal is to read more.
Writing, To write longer pieces of writing. My writing has started to get shorter and shorter. I have been rushing to try and get work handed in, so that is why my goal is to write longer.
Maths, To get less distracted. During maths I often get distracted often, so my goal is to do my own work and not get distracted.

Term 3 - Week 2

Hello!

On Tuesday we had tech arts first. We learnt about reggae music and Bob Marley. I learnt how to play three little birds on the keyboard and drums because I already knew how to on the guitar. On Wednesday we did maths and I learnt about area. I didn't do team cross country because I was waiting for Mr Standbridge so her could fix my saxophone and also to pick out my piece for the competitions. I picked The Wizard Of Oz. He couldn't fix my instrument so it had to be sent away. On Thursday at band I couldn't play because my octave key is broken. During the middle block I was at robotics. I finally finished expedition Atlantis. I found out that you had to collect all of the colors to finish it.In the afternoon we went to the college expo and found out about the options at TA college. On Friday morning we had french. I learnt how to say what I am wearing and also if clothes are masculine or feminine. At tech arts we learnt about blues music. We learnt about lots of different types of blues songs and also were it originated from. In the afternoon we did cross country.

This week we had Mr McCabe because Mrs Crowe had a problem with her ears. We had our first cross country training on Monday.  Just before cross country Mr McCabe taught us about the importance of warming up before you run. On Tuesday I was not at school because I was getting my plates/retainer. We spent a lot of time doing speeches and SLC. On Friday at Tech Arts I learnt about Irish music.
Goodbye.

Term 2 Week 6

Hello,

On Monday it was the Queens birthday so there was no school. Because there was no Monday we didn't have an assembly so I couldn't get my silver badge. At food on Tuesday I learnt more about what the healthy cafe is. I spent quite a while looking for a recipe I learnt that a lot of recipes need avocado! I also found out the it is going to be held on Friday the 23rd of June. At band on Thursday I learnt how to play "A London Intrada" and "Moana".

At robotics I learnt how to write java script to code robotics. Previously in robotics we have been using blocks to make the robots move which is easier, but when you are makeing web pages and similar you can use blocks so we are learning how to use java. At the start you have to have "async function startProgram() {" Then in the next line you have // Write code here. In the next lines you write what you want the robot to do. I have been making it go around a maze with Bobby. My first line of coding was "await roll ( 0, 50, 2.1, ) ; " You always have to have a "}" at the very end on the next line, but before that after each line of coding you have to have a semicolon (;) to tell the robot that it is at the end and to start the next line of code. The await at the start means a short delay before it starts to roll( the roll command). The 0, means heading to 0 degrees. The 50 means to go at 50% speed and the 2.1, means to roll for 2.1 seconds. I learnt that the heading, speed and roll time are variables which means that they can change and it won't muck up the rest of it. My end coding looked like:
async function startProgram() {
// Write code here
await roll ( 0, 50, 2.1 ) ;
await roll ( 270, 50, 1 ) ;
await roll ( 180, 50, 2.7 ) ;
await roll ( 270, 50, 2. ) ;
await roll ( 315, 50, 0.5 ) ;
await roll ( 0, 50, 0.2 ) ;
await roll ( 315, 50, 2 ) ;
await roll ( 45, 50, 2.5 ) ;
}

In the afternoon block Emily, Patrick and me went into the lad to test out some coding software. I learnt about a program called Ruins of Atlantis. It is a program where you code a ship through the ruins of atlatis. On Friday I went to tough guy and gal. I got very muddy and it was a lot of fun.

Term 2 - week 4

On Monday morning we learnt about adjectives. I also re-learnt about different types of characters in reading. On Thursday I went to EPro8 challenge. I also went to this last year where my team (Little Einsteins - Emma, Emily, Bobby, me) were we got 4th. This year we got 1st so we are going onto the semi-finals. You have to complete some challenges witch were pretty hard. At robotics we made tracks that the robots had to drive over. On Friday at french we made a weather wheel. After that at food I learnt how to make butterfly cakes. In the weekend there was a production sleepover where I learnt some new songs and also found out how the play ends.
