Today with Mrs Minehan we registered ourselves into the summer learning journey and then we went onto the art task. I did a few different tasks and then I did this one I made it all green and the I made it all blue and then I made the background grey and white. I really like the blue sign with Chinese writing in it that is in the top left corner.
Last term we did Van Gogh starry night art with Mrs Swinburn.
1. Before we could get to doing the art we had to take a picture of our leg on a chair and our hand in the air reaching for the stars. Then we had to cut yourself out.
2. At the start we had to draw the stars and the moon in yellow crayon.
3. Then we had to get 3 different types of blue crayon to draw the swirls and then we did that.
4. Once everyone had finished drawing their swirls it was time to draw on the little white dashes. Some people thought they were done with the white dashes but no if you look at Van Goghs art there are so many white dashes.
5.. After everyone finished the dashes it was time to dye the background black to make it look like the night.
6. The last step was to add the ladder which is icecream sticks stuck together and the picture of us that we took earlier and add it to the ladder that is on the paper.
This is my poster about media. We are learning about all different types of medias. Media is sharing information and different forms. I didn't know that there were that many types of media. There are many different types of media. We did this a few weeks ago with Mrs Minehan. I learn't that there is so many different types of medias not just like social media. I think it was really fun and I enjoyed doing it. It was fun making up a poster about media.
Did you now that all of these thing are media ?
Day 1 :
Today was the first day that Mr Kinane came in and for the three days that he is here, he is going to be teaching us how to use micro bits. Mr Kinane is a specialist in digital technology and computational thinking. We needed a partner and my partner was Ashley.
What you need to have when you get them : You will need the Micro bit, on day there you need the big circle circuit board that has more connections on it. The USB cord is to plug into your computer to download your code onto the micro bit, on day 3 you need 2 power packs but on day 1 & 2 you only need one.
Day 2 :
Today we had to send a message to another micro bit. We had to choose a number between 1 - 255 the group I was in choose the number 125. We sent hi to each other. Once we got it sorted we went outside and saw how many steps we could go away from each other and see if it would still work and it did it worked from far away.
Day 3 :
Today we got to add more stuff that connected to the micro bit. I was in a group with Sora. Everybody got a Cricket add on, 2 micro bits, a USB cord, 2 power packs and an arm. We also got a cup and a straw and we had to make the straw go around in a circle with this little machine that has a connection on the top that you can stick the straw to and it makes it go around. Sora and I couldn't get it to work but we kept trying ever though we still didn't get it.
I really liked having Mr Kinane come in and taught us all about how the micro bits work it was so much fun.
Have you ever used a Micro bit ?
