Rogaine

Last week on Thursday our class went to the botanic gardens to do rogaine. The whole syndicate joined us. Some of the parents helped us work out the problems. Rogaine is a scavenger hunt but you have to find answers to the end of the clues.

 We started at the top of the botanic gardens and ended at the bottom of it. Some questions were easy, Some were hard. But everyone had fun. The groups were from 3 to 5 people in a group.I (Katie) was with my friends Charlotte, Meredith and Charlotte's Mum. I (Kirin) had Guy, Annika,Ruby, me and my dad.It was really fun and it let us learn more.

Hour of Code

This week Room 10 took part in Hour of Code. This is a world wide event introducing people to the power of code.

Some reflections from participants in Room 10:

"Code.org is such a good way to learn how to code. It teaches you how to make things move and happen" - Katie

"On the Khan Academy website we have been drawing a face and we could put pieces of the face as tall or wide as we wanted. Coding allows you to make choices of your picture or text" - Maddalena

"Code is a great way to learn about computers and it is also very fun!" - Meredith

"Coding sometimes can be complicated but most of the time it is fun" - Sonia

"Coding is an exciting thing that you do with numbers to explore shapes to make a picture" - Grace

"I like it how you can put blocks together and you can create your own game" - William

"I enjoyed making this game because it's a bit like a puzzle" - Guy
