leaders Trip to PYDT(Papanui Youth Development Trust)

 Guten Tag Bloggers how is your first week back at school going? personally, this week has been very long but it has been a pretty cool week with an awesome two-day leaders camp on Monday and Tuesday. At the end of the camp, we all had to make a pretty simple speech about what we took away from the camp and throughout the whole time We had two days of learning six habits to help with leading and being better people, in general, these were the habits.

Habit 1:Be Proactive not reactive

Habit 2:Begin with the end in mind

Habit 3:Put first things first

Habit 4:Think Win-Win

Habit 5:Seek first to understand, and then to be understood

Habit 6:Synergize

Have you ever been on a leader's trip? anyway Underneath are some pictures of the Trip Enjoy :) see you next time :)

Science update

Hey, bloggers over the past 3 weeks my friend Tom and I have been working on this really cool science experiment and it is to do with creating and growing different types of crystals, such as sugar crystals salt crystals, and Borax crystals. We had to explain our hypothesis create a question, explain why our question is a good one and conduct our experiment, our crystals are still growing because they take time to form and create the crystals so when they are done I will share some photos on my blog. Have you ever made crystals before?

Coding work

Welcome back bloggers today I am sharing with you some of the photos from my coding video about picking up rubbish and I decided to have someone talking about it and then picking up the rubbish by the person watching clicking on the rubbish. I chose littering as my topic because I see it around all the time and I thought people need to hear more about how much of a problem it is, As you can see in the first few photos that is my code and I'll just explain a little bit about that to you, so you have to select sprite.move down(100) will make them move down 100 pixels and you just explain it to the computer like that.

Thanks for coming I'll see you all next time, make sure to comment and let me know what you think.:)

Sparkling Southern/Northern lights

Hey Bloggers,
It's finally the last day of term and almost the holidays WoooHooooo! and for the last day, we have made these awesome Southern/Northern lights art pieces and I chose my colours to be red and blue In the back you may be able to see 7 prominent stars these are the 7 stars of Matariki and we have put them in there because over the past few weeks we have been doing Matariki so we just added it into our southern/Northern lights art. Did you know that the Southern and Northern lights actually come from particles from the sun that break through the earth's magnetosphere and create the lights. Make sure to comment what you think of my art and I'll see you all next time. :)

Brilliant Binary Bracelets

Hey Bloggers, Today we are learning about Binary and ASCII. 

Binary is a number system that uses 1’s and 0’s to represent all of our normal set of numbers.  You can use the place values as multiples of 2 to work out how to do it for yourself!  Try watching this video to give it a go yourself!

ASCII is a set of encoded symbols that a computer uses to turn Binary into letters and other symbols from the English language (like what is on our keyboard).  I turned my initials into binary numbers, and then turned those binary numbers into an ASCII code!  Using colors to represent the 1’s and 0’s, my initials in ASCII can be represented by the pattern you see in my image below!  

What do you think?  Have you ever tried encoding anything in binary or ASCII?  Could you have a try for yourself?  Can you work out how to write my initials in ASCII from the pattern above?

Wacky Word Problems

Hey, Bloggers, this is our word problems for Thursday, we had to explain how we solved these, I worked with Noah and C was definitely the most difficult one that we had to do. Make sure to comment and let me know what you think or even give me a problem to try and solve. see you next time.
