BEE BOT MAZE

 Today our class wrote instructions for a bee bot to go round a course. Once we had written our instucactions we had to make a maze out of blocks. This was very hard because each square had to be exactly 15 cm long and wide. If the squares weren't 15 cm long and wide the bee bot would crash into the blocks.


Once I had made my track to perfection I tried to make the bee bot go through the blocks.The first time I tried it and it didn't work.The next time I tried it  and it worked.I was stoked.

Lighthouse Metaphor

 Hi my name is Harry and I'm here to explain my lighthouse metaphor, lead the way. I think that lead the way should mean this.  if you were taking charge in your learning you could be leading the way.  If you're wondering how lead the way is involved with a lighthouse metaphor it's like this.


Lighthouses lead the boat or ship into a calm place or a harbor to land with their light that's how lead the way is linked to a lighthouse metaphor.

BEE BOT

 It was time to use the bee bot. I went down to the mat with my pictures of the three billy goat gruffs in order. I lined them out on the bee bot grid. Each square in the bee bot grid is 15 cm long and 15 cm wide.The bee bot works like this.

On top of the bee bot there are 4 directions.The directions on top of the bee bot are forward, backwards, right and left. Also on top of the bee bot is a go button. You use the go button when you have clicked all the buttons you need to. Then you just push the go button and the bee bot gos in the direction you want it to.


I bet you think this is easy but honestly its really hard. I tried it but it didn't work. I tried it again but it still didn't work. I tried again but this time it worked.YES!! I said. I was learning to use the buttons in the correct order. I think that everybody should have a bee bot! Dont you?.

Enviro

The bus came to a stop. The doors opened with a swish.Everyone got out.We walked to the big gates.We met the people who run the environment centre.They told us to walk into the building. When we were walking into the building we passed lots of big healthy fresh fruit and vegetables. Soon we were inside the building.The person who runs  the environment centre told us to grab a badge. There were 4 different  colours of badges green,pink,blue,white.I had a green badge We put down are bags and sat down on these funny bean bags. What are these made of someone asked.There made of old milk bottles. She replied. That's why there so uncomfortable i thought. There's going to be three rotations before morning tea she said.


She told the blue and green badges to get into one group and white badges to get into another.Then she told blue badges to get into one to. I walked into  a room. the room was very close to the main road. In this room we were learning about the six rs. The teacher gave us the six rs. You have to place them in order she said from the most important to the least important. The 6rs were reuse,recycle,refuse,repair,replace,rot,.Sorry but i cant remember what the order was.It was soon time to leave that rotation.


The next rotation was about not using much plastic. This rotation was in the main room. We sat down on the uncomfortable bean bags.  In this rotation she told us were all the trucks of plastic went.Just in case you want to know they all went to this big quarry in  the place that L&P comes from. 


The next rotation was out in the garden. We walked all around the gardens.We got to try anything we liked the look of. She also taught us about what time of the year to plant and harvest fruit and vegetables.That was are last rotation.I wish i could take you through are next rotation but honestly im so tired.
