Our own geocaches

We had lots of fun making mini geocache huts and creating our own geocache map for the school grounds,


We also presented our learning at assembly. Check our our presentation:

Flappy game

Miss Stubbing found a website called Code that lets you make your own games.  In our class we have made games based on Flappy Bird.

This type of code is based on putting pieces together like a jigsaw puzzle.  Each bit does a different thing.  For example you can set the scene, change the character, change the speed and change the obstacles.  To test our code we had to play the game after each part was added.  After each test you can change or add pieces.

On the website it gives you a step by step guide to make the game.  Lots of people have made their own version of Flappy bird.  Some people have also made them at home.

Today our whole entire class made them on the netbooks.  Some of us made very hard games and some of us made much easier ones.  We tested each others out.  Everybody made a different one which is what made it so interesting.

Habitats for Life

In room 10 we have been leaning about habitats. 

We learnt about warmth and what you need to make a perfect home.  

We have joined a (pretend) job called Habitats for Life. We got to make all the things that made an office feel like an office. We even have a hot chocolate machine! We got to pick what our names are and how old we are. Now we are going to make our houses for a animal or person of our choice. If we think our project would really help we can make it. Also remember we are only building a model.

This is just the beginning of our project and we will share more about it over the next few weeks.

Sphero

Today Katie bought in a Sphero. A Sphero is a small ball that you can play games with using an iPad.

Katie had four games she had collected. There was one game that she told us about where you could control it with an arrow pad on the iPad. The second game was a game where you did the same as you did on the game that I explained before but on the screen of the iPad the Sphero looked like a beaver and you had to collect coins.

The third game she had was the same as the last but you had to kill Zombies! The fourth game was when you had to aim the Sphero (which looked like a golf ball on screen) into a box or whatever you are aiming for the Sphero to go into (whatever you were aiming at looked like a small hole on the screen).

Another game challenged you to grab the Sphero when it changed to a certain colour. I thought that it would be hard to play as the colours were changing reasonably quickly.  Katie had it mastered!

I thought it was really cool how it looked like the Sphero was moving by itself.
