week 9

This week was a great success.
We managed to stick all of the paper forest floor map together. Our buddies really enjyed doing that this week beacause we also got to make all the houses and other obstacles we needed. Our buddies each made really cool houses, Sarah made the Gingerbread house and, Alishia made the wood cutters house, the houses were both great and they both put in alot of effort. We found some really great looking, realistic trees, which we have several of. We also completly finished drawing and clouring in the black lines for the robot to follow, on the forest floor.Today at Bethlehem Primary we acheived alot, even though we didn't get to do any programming, and we all had a fun time today.

At luch we left and cycled back to Otumoeai Intermediate

week 7

Today we only had half as much time at Bethlehem because we had to stay at our school for an assembly. 

At Bethlehem today we mostly created our big map. We all stuck most of the 6 by 6 map together though it still isn't completely finished. We drew in some of the black lines for the robot to follow and then coloured them in. I gave our buddies jobs to do, which were to build gingerbread house and the woodcutter’s house. Hopefully the houses turn out really good.

Then we had to leave for school. 

From a Year 4

Using the laptops was fun and confusing, not to mention hard. Programming the robots on the laptop was hard because I've never programmed a robot before. The very first time it was a bit boring because I did not know what to do. Doing the forest floor was not difficult at all. I felt very creative. It was great fun. It was all about making the map look great and I felt like a famous artist.

Programming the robots was very hard; we had to get our robot around the bottle and back over the blue line. My team failed.
