Code Club

Today we did our last code club session for the term. My favourite session was the one where we did games mine is called paintbox and you can draw. You will see it down bellow. We learnt two coding languages, Scratch and HTML. I had lots of fun learning new things and doing it with different people. I really enjoyed doing code club and hope I get to do it next term.

My Cross

This term we have been painting crosses. This is my cross above, my design represents echoing love. I chose these colours for two reasons: one, because I love how these colours go together and two, because they all represent things, eg. pink=love, care   yellow=happiness, freshness  blue= calmness, respect. I really enjoyed doing my cross along with everyone else in the class. We made them to put around the school and I think they are all going to look really good.

Fact and Opinion

In class we did work on if something is a fact or an opinion. A fact is something that is true no matter what, for example when everyone in the world thought the world was flat it was still round no matter what. An opinion is when someone thinks it but it is not true, for example if I told you dogs are better than cats you may think I am right or you may think I am utterly wrong so it is just my opinion. Sometimes it can get very confusing trying to tell the difference from a fact or an opinion. I like learning about facts and opinions because it gets my mind thinking.

Code Club Ransom Note

This week at code club we made a non violence ransom notes. A ransom note is something sent to you saying that if you do not give an unidentified person a certain amount of money they will do something bad. Mine was that if that if you did not give me the money I would erase the mind of your super-smart puppy that you have been training forever. I had fun learning some cool new html signs and making this code. 

Social Justice Week Feathers

On Monday it was the start of Social Justice Week so we all made beautiful feathers that said a word that was related to social justice, the word on my feather was INCLUDED. It was fun decorating them and it was cool to see them made into a cloak.

Author Visit from Raymond Huber

Today we got paid a visit from author Raymond Huber. Raymond showed us some of his books and why he wrote them that way. It was cool to see that you don't just write a book and it gets published, it takes a lot of time and a lot of editing. It was fun seeing some of the books he brought in to show us to. It was great to learn who helped him and what and who inspired to write a book about that. I liked Raymond Huber coming to our school because it was interesting. 

Turtles

In writing we all made reptile slides, as you can see mine was on turtles. It was interesting learning about the deeper facts of turtles and see some incredibly adorable baby turtles pictures! Who knew turtles could be such fascinating creatures?! Did you know turtles could be sooo small that you have to hold them between your thumb and index finger! Well I hope you enjoy my slide as much as I do!
