Scratch Creation
Today we got challenged to make a scratch comic, using coding. What we had to do was pick a superhero and make a story about it doing certain things. Our superhero was a guide dog for blind people. We had to make the guide dog do certain things. Some of the things were a starter project in which we got the dog to guide a lady across a road. The next activity was show off with a super spin. What you had to do for that one was the dog had to do a spin in the road. The next one was it had to fly over buildings, but our dog couldn’t fly over buildings so we just made it cross a road again because it was a guide dog and doesn’t fly over buildings. Neatly was you had to add background music. Then you had to support your hero. By doing that you would just add in another character. There was also keeping the score by creating a game by programming your hero to collect objects. The last one is draw your own hero, and what you had to do was use the paint editor in scratch and make your own hero. Scratch was a really fun activity and maybe one day you could try it for yourself.

Last week , we made lnk tracking tunnels to see what pests we have at school .
Equipment
. 1 sponge
. peanut butter
. Food colouring for ink
. Cardboard
. 2,x empty 2litre milk cartons
. white paper
steps
1. cut the ends of the milk boltles.
-save 1 to hold the sponge
2. join the two milk boltles together.
3.wrap them with black plastic .
4. put a piece of white paper inside.
5.put food colouring on the sponge and a blob of peanut butter.
6. Put the tunnel in a outdoor space to see what happens.
When we checked our trap, the pests had stolen the sponge! We replaced it, and they stole it again!!! Other traps showed rat and mice footprints, and poop! They also chewed the sponges.

Joseph's Word Cloud
Joseph's class were set a challenge to create a word cloud all about them. Joseph and his family came up with these words to describe himself and the things that make him happy! He then chose this awesome emoji as the background for his word cloud. If you would like to make your own word cloud you can make yours at www.wordart.com/create
