Making my own bee bot track/ challenge

 Making my own bee bot track


On Monday at school when class started Koka Jo came in the class and said today we are doing something with bee bots.  We were learning how to do a instructional writing and some one from your bzz group was with you as a buddy. 


We got our writing book and started writing our instructions. We could write left, right, forward and back. Each spot had to be 15 cms long. My buddy and me went outside and tried our instructions and they worked out great. I was feeling so happy that it worked. 

What are bee bots?

What are bee bots? Bee bots are called a bee bot and they have arrows that are left, right, back and forward and the bee bots have go and a x for reset. It is shaped like a bee and it is kind of  like a robot so I think that is why it is called a bee bot.  

I made a grid on the floor with some squares for the bee bot to go though. It went wrong 2 times then it went fine. I was so happy.  After we wrote our instructions Koka Jo, our teacher for the day checked our instructions.

My instructions were 2 forward, 1 left, 3 forward, 1 right, 3 forward 1 back, 1 left, 3 forward, 1 right and 2 back. Some people in my class were blaming the bees so never blame the bee bots.

Remember don't  blame the bee bots!

Tuahine lighthouse metaphor and writing!

 Tuahine lighthouse metaphor and writing!

 

The Moana syndicate walked along the beach to Tuahine lighthouse in term 2. It took us about 2 hours to get there and back. 

Lead the way for me means when boats are going along the water the lighthouse shows them the way. So they don't crash into rocks. 


Rm 4 made a metaphor of the Tuahine lighthouse and you did it by yourself. It was so fun. Some people are still making their lighthouse metaphor. The lighthouse is lighting up learning. My metaphor is shine your light and one more that I came up with and it is lead the way. I put it inside of Tuahine lighthouse. Here is my lighthouse metaphor.

My reading group on tuesday we read a book about mr. mcbungle. Our reading group made a grid on the floor. Each square had to be 15 cm long. Betsy and me were the first people to try it out.We both made some pictures to put on the grid. From the story. 


Then we laid out the pictures all over the grid and it could be anywhere you wanted. We were trying all different ways to do it. The easiest way was with the 3 main parts he went to.That is what we did for reading follow up.

Enviro Center-Plastic free you should go there


Enviro Center


Last week on thursday room 1 and room 4 went to the Enviro Center. We all lined up on the deck waiting for the bus. I was so excited because we get to go on the bus and to the Enviro center.I was so excited to go at home i made sure I had all the essential I need. We all had our buddies ready so when we get on the bus we just had to sit down with your buddie.


We all hopped on the bus but me and Lila said it's sad Sarah missed out by a day. Because she was going back to America. We finally arrived to the Enviro center and jumped out but not actually jumped  out of the bus. We walked in pass all the cool veges , herbs and fruit. We walked inside the entrance and grabbed a tag and it had different colors on them for the groups that you would be in.We all put down our bags and sat on the mat or beanbag that was full with plastic bottles.They told us what groups you are in and Matiria was with me.


We got in the groups and went to the station i was at.We had to see if we knew the 6 r's in order. We had about 5 minutes to figure that out what order it was in and Amber ,Dillyn and Matiria where in my group. No one got it in the right order. 


Then we moved on to how much food is being waste that is fine to eat. So the food is bort to the Envio center to go to people like plunket, schools that need it and more i forgot.then it was morning tea.


How To Make A Compost
Step 1: Get a compost bin and mark a spot.

Step 2:Grab from your house and garden Egg shells, grass clippings, wet news paper, Coffee grounds,  sticks , food scarps but not meat.

Step 3:Grab all your stuff and go on the internet and search green and brown lairs for a compost .
 
Step 4: Lair all your stuff in then you are done.Make sure snails don't get in.


Then we went over to the worm farm to see the worms. We put cloves on and then we got to hold the worms and ever one named there worm. I named mine wormy.Most worms where having babies i would explain it but i don't know how to.


We all came together then and went outside to wait for the bus and there was kids on the bus and koka leah use to work at the school .But we had some lunch as we waited for the bus because it took the to get there about 10 minutes.

My favorite part of the trip was the compost and worm farm. After that I actually felt like I could do a worm farm and compost by myself.
