Bee Bot Track Challenge

 Beebot Track Challenge.

On Monday morning we were doing this bee bot track challenge thing 

This is how we did it.  We had to write instructions for the bee bots and then we had to make a track with blocks. The spaces had to be 15  cm wide and we had to use rulers and it wasn't as easy as it looks.Once we were done that we got to have a go with the bee bots for our track.We had to make the bee bots do what we had instructed them to do and the bee bots never make a mistake of the directions  - it's what the programmer did wrong!

I learnt about measuring, plus sharing and communication. This was an interesting challenge that we did today. 

If you are wondering what bee bots are; well they are bee Robots and they are really cool because they are good for learning about directions.

I also learnt about our lefts and rights. We had to make our bee bots go the directions we wanted them to.

These are my instructions for the Bee-Bot Challenge

Tuahine lighthouse.

Tuahine lighthouse 

My class made a lighthouse metaphor and we have been doing things about the lighthouse.  The Tuahine lighthouse means to shine bright when we are doing our best and trying our hardest in things we need to do. That is what the Tuahine lighthouse means to me, that we try our hardest and shine our light . Shine your light when you are learning and try your hardest.

Super Tairawhiti Environment centre

Last week we went on a trip to the Tairawhiti environment centre to learn about how to use less plastic and also how to look after the environment.  Because if we didn't look after the environment then it would be a terrible place to be.  Happily, we went there so we can learn about how to save the environment.

When we went  to a station I learned that the supermarkets were just chucking food out when the food is perfectly fine. 

Kindly  some people from the team at the environment centre  were getting the food that was going to be chucked out and brought it back to the Tairawhiti centre and then they were giving the food to the families that were in need.

Did you know that you can eat a flower?   It's an orange flower and it's really amazing.

Another fact i learned at the Tairawhiti environment centre is worms don't eat spicy things like onion, chilly or any spicy things. Here are some things that the worms do eat and they are cardboard or newspaper and much more.

Also on the trip I learnt new things like how you could use things you want to chuck out.  So  you could use things like milk bottle caps or things you don't need any more, so your turning trash into Treasure and its amazing.

At the environment centre i got to taste yummy foods that were growing in the garden and the ones I tasted was the orange flower that i told you about in paragraph 3. At the centre there was foods growing in the gardens such as kale and peaches  and heaps more.

When we were at the centre I learnt that the dump trucks have to drive up a long way to this big huge hole and all our rubbish is close to peoples homes and that`s not fair. Lets use less plastic and also save the animals, because it isn't fair for the animals. 

Here's the fun bit... we got to hold a worm! They were a bit cold so they didn't move around that much but it was really fun and incredible.

The End.
