Coding with Pythons.

 LI: To see and understand the connection between the written code, the block code and the flow chart.  

This is the comparison between the Python coding, the blocks and the flowchart for making the Microbit act like a dice.

Mindfulness Reflection #1

 LI: To understand the meaning behind the pause breathe smile program.

This week we had our first session of the Pause Breathe Smile program. Our learning was based on having a calm mindset. We were introduced to this program by first defining what the word mindfulness is. Then we defined it and shared our different definitions with others.

After talking about mindfulness we were introduced to the red zone and the green zone. They are two different zones. The red zone is when you feel stressed,anxious,distracted and others. The green zone is when you feel calm, relaxed, peaceful, curious, clear, balanced, content and engaged.

We were balancing our mind set by forgiving bad things that happened in the past and calming our mind down and focusing on the present. To do this we sat in a circle and listened to the bell while breathing in and out, this helped us relax and focus on positive things.

I enjoyed this session because we learnt about having a positive mindset and about being mindful of others. During this session I learnt how to Pause, Breathe and Smile and calm my mind.    

Adding Maths decimals

 LI: To understand how to add decimals

For this DLO , Afa Liletina and I worked collabortivtley , shared our opinions , to understand the stagatey we are working on, For our groups we were understanding the stragtey we learnt for the past few days. 

I really enjoyed learning this activty as I learnt how to use decimals also knowing how to use it. We also worked collabortivtly to understand where we start from and how we can get the answer. We first watched videos to understand what we first needed to do , to try and get the correct answer to the right question. 

Olympic Venues

LI: To identify the main ideas - negotiation game 

LI: To make inferences about the events in the text using the clues provided by the author.

The DLO showing above is about the amount of money that was spend to build and help with the olympics. My reading group wrote some no and yes ideas as example yes they should spent this money to make their families proud, also with no because people could use the money with vaccines. We also found a photo of then and now happening every four years.

Flow charts and Radio Chat.

To understand how flowcharts relate to coding blocks.

To understand how to get the microbit to talk to another microbit using radio signals.

Here is my flowchart practice document.

The next activity today was coding the microbit to send a radio signal to another microbit. We had to make sure that both microbits were on the same group number so we didn't accidentally get a message from another group.

         

Do you think they should've spent this money? / Pukeko Group.

 L.I : To compare then and now with the Olympics Places.

Matariki

 LI: To strengthen our connections to Matariki.

This DLO was desgined , to understand the Matariki Stars celebration that's going on this week , Our group created this DLO and compltedted it by working collabortivtely , understanding what,why,who and the matariki stars. We also started being creative and drawing our own stars. By creating this DLO we used our searching skills and looked through websites to find facts and information about the Matariki stars. Matariki takes place eahc year when the cluster of the stars knowen as Matariki. The new year is a time of new beginingins and is a time to embrace the trandtions.The new year is a time for new beginnings and is a time to embrace tradition . To strengthen our connections to Matariki we had a choice of research activities. I enjoyed this activty as I learnt that Matariki is cluster instead of a star. I found out that their are 7 Stars including the Matariki.
