Pause Breathe Smile

 So today was our first lesson on Pause Breathe Smile. We all got into a circle and started our lesson Mrs Tofa told all of us to close our eyes and breathe in and out then she told us when our mind goes somewhere we can say wonder and our mind will come back to us. Then she told us all to sit up straight and put our hands on our stomach and told us to breathe in and out will putting our hands on our stomach after doing this activity I felt like I was in a different world and I also felt clam.I really enjoyed this activity and I can't wait for the next pause breathe smile lesson.

Last week in Technology- Coding microbit

 So today was our last week of coding in Technology with our lovely teacher Miss Fergson. We had to use microbits to code steps. Its was really hard to do because we had to measure how long was a single leg stride, Miss Ferguson showed us how to measure our footsteps using a ruler and a chalk once we were done we coded the length of our footstep into the microbit and had a test try and once we found out it worked we were all happy and now i'm going to miss this coding class because I had lost of fun with our teacher Miss Fergson.

Architecture

 W.A.L.T: we are learning to create accurate floor plans for building a house.

we used floorplancreator. net to do this

What I learnt from doing this activity is before you build a house you need a

*floor plan

*how big your room would be

*the measurement

When I grow up, if I joined the building industry, I would like to be a builder

Kiwica

Today in Kiwican my class and I were having a discussion about our topic which was integrity and our theme which was honesty. After our discussion we played a game called splash. It was like the game called bang but the word was swapped with splash. Once we were finished with our game we had another discussion about being honest and the kiwican leaders were giving us some questions for being honest. When we were done we all got into 4 groups and the groups were named after 4 animals which were doggy, tiger, kitty and finally piggy and we all had to say a chant. When we were done we all had a game of GKQ.

Coding the Microbit - Technology

 So today in technology the year 8's learned how to do Rock, Paper, Scissors on our Microbit by following all of the steps one by one. Once we were all done coding our Rock, Paper, Scissors we all had a game with each other and it was really fun. Soon after that we did some other stuff  like coding a Flashing heart, name tag, Smiley buttons, Dice, Love meters, Micro chat, coin flipper and finally the 7 seconds we all had so much fun making all of these fun things on the microbits
