Digital Immersion

Today we had a session with Garry from Digital Immersion. We learnt how to programme a robot to move from one place to place. We used a special language called Binary to programme our robots. My group had heaps of fun and can't want for our next session with Garry.  

My Favourite book Bad guys

Title: The Bad Guys

By: Aaron Blabey

Characters in the book: Mr Wolf, Piranha, Agent Fox,
Snake, Mr Shark and spider

My favourite character: Mr Wolf

My book is about a mad villain called Dr Marmalade.

Dr Marmalade wanted to transform everyone into
Zombies animals. Mr Wolf and his team wanted to
stop him but there was one problem the machine
that Dr Marmalade was using was on the moon so
Mr Wolf and his team stole a rocket and hoped if they
saved the day that they would not go to jail.
So they used the rocket to get into space and stopped
Dr Marmalade and transformed everybody back to normal.

I really liked this story because Mr Wolf and his team
saved the day and the book was also very entertaining.

Glow in the Dark with Mrs Tofa

Today I learnt how you can make things glow, so first we fueled up a glass half way and than we took out all the ink out of a highlighter. Then we tipped all the ink into the glass of water than we put tape on  our teachers phones camera and then coloured it blue then we put another tape on and then coloured it blue again then the last on was put tape on again and coloured it purple which made it a black light. After that we went into a dark room and Mrs card turned her light and my group and I were glowing green like the hulk. It was a cool experiment and experiences.
