ASB Waterfront Theatre/ Genesis program and The Spark 5G Race Zone trip

 Namaste Bloggers

Last week the year 5 and 6's had one of the most exciting experiences ever. We went to the Waterfront Theatre, where the kind Genesis people showed us how to use a Sphero ( bolt ) robot ( but I already knew how to use it.) They taught us  how to aim the Sphero, change the colour ( on the top ) and they taught us how to race them around the America's Cup course ( Mohit, and I won one ). 

Then we had Morning Tea, after we did that my group went to the 5G Race Zone. First we went to the wind room. It told us where the air current was coming from and how hard it was blowing. When we got to the next room and we got to do a simulation of the Te Kahu ( the ship New Zealand's going to use in the 2021 Americas Cup ). Then we watched a movie about the Te Kahu, explaining why we should win the cup again. After that we got to build our own version of the Te Kahu, we were scored out of one hundred. 

This is someone in the schools boat I couldn't find mine ( mine was the highest score in my group mine was 90)

My favorite part of today was making my own version of the Te Kahu.

These are some photos that we took

These photo's were made with AR ( augmented reality ) with the little stations in the Race Zone.

The 5G Race Zone is open to the public it is free but you're only allowed in there for an hour. Thank you for reading my blog post if you went there you can tell me what you did in the comment section below.

Me and my class made Diya's ( Indian Candles )

 Namaste Bloggers 

Last week me and my class made Diya's. We made Diya's thanks to the instructions by Room 6, these's are the amazing instructions that I followed, thank's Sascha. Something that I found challenging was deciding what patterns to put on it. 

This is my Diya

Thank you for reading my blog post If you have made a diya with these instructions you can share them with me in the comment section.

The Digital Ignition program

 Namaste Bloggers 

Today I will be sharing my experience of doing the Digital Ignition program this morning. This morning we had Jess from the Digital Ignition program. I learnt that there is a site called Makers Empire. Today we played a game called match the old tech to the new tech. Then  we did Makers Empire which I mentioned before. Makers Empire is like Tinker cad. While one person from our group did Makers Empire, the other people played with a Bee-Bot ( which helps you with programming directions ). Last of all we learnt ( I already knew ) input, output, process and storage.

 I think that we should get Makers Empires because most people like it and it's easier  to use than Tinker cad.

My favorite part of today was when we got to use the Bee-bots, because we got to program where they went and how they went there.

These are some photo's of what we did

Thank you for reading my blog post. If you have any question then you can ask me in the comments.

Reading test results

 Namaste bloggers

Today I will be telling you my reading test result. I'm the best reader in the class but the person who was on the same reading age as me hasn't been tested yet. My reading age is 13 years, That's 3 year's above my age. That story that I read was about Homing pigeons. Homing pigeons have two ways of navigating to get to the nests, one of the ways is going around roundabout's following highways and even more ( man made object ), the second way they get around is by using a Iron based crystal called Magnetite in their heads which somehow allow's them to connect with the magnetic field to find their way to their nests.

Thank you fro reading my blog post if you know anything else about homing pigeons then you can tell me in the comments. Bye

Museum Trip

 Namaste Bloggers

Today I will be telling you about me and my classes trip to The Auckland War Memorial Museum. At 10:00 am we saw the buses arrive. On the way to the museum some of the students in our class started to sing weird songs ( that really annoyed me ). When we got to the museum we were separated into groups of 6-7 people and an adult. My favorite part of the museum was the volcano room. One of the things that I learnt, was that in the war they had grenade crossbows ( and yes I'm not joking! ). One question that I had was why they had such a tiny Egyptian exhibition. After lunch, we walked down to the winter gardens. 

This is a image of us there.

  

Overall, this was an amazing experience. You can share you experience in the comments. Bye.

Today I will be sharing my experience of the Ako Hiko Film Festival. Me and my groups movie got chosen. Our movie was called The Friendship Levels, when we got the permission slip to go to the movie, we could either choose Choc Top ( ice cream ) or Popcorn. I choose Choc Top, I saw most of my group at the movies. Our movie was the fourth movie showing.
