Automata

This week on Wednesday, I made an Automata as a project. An Automata is a cardboard toy which turns one cam to make another cam move.  A cam is a cardboard circle.  I took a cardboard box from home and with the help of some friends, we decorated it.  

So the process to make it was, first start with cutting the bottom of the box out, then cutting out circles (cams).  This was really hard because the cardboard was really thick. We had to use a craft knife as the scissors weren't working very well. Once we had cut all the cams it was time to stick them onto the skewers. When me and Wolfe put the cams on the skewers we then hot glued them to the skewers to keep them from falling off. After that we put three holes in the box for the skewers to go into, before we put the top skewer in we hot glued a straw to keep the top skewers spinning properly.

Once all of that was done Wolfe drew a frog that when you spin it it dies. He glued it on and we were almost done the last thing we needed to do was decorate it. The first thing Wolfe did to decorate it was write a sign what says A Frog's Life. As soon as he finished him and I drew some trees, bushes and a pond. Then we got some cardboard and cut out the trees and bushes and a pond we stuck them onto some cardboard and then we were finally done.

LTP Junky Monkey

 This week for LTP I did Junky monkey, which I found very fun. it was really fun because I got to take parts off parts to make new parts and even toys or a creation. I enjoy making new things out of old things.

So instead of going out and lining up we just stayed inside because junky monkey is in room 3 and I'm in room 3. so First my teacher did the roll on whos here, then we got into it. First I look at a few toys from last week but then I saw the most funniest toy in the world in was a barbie with a bimbo head and IT WAS HILARIOUS. after that I went looking for something to build. Then I had it I was going to make a trophy stand but with a dog head.

Later on I found the barbie to the barbie body and I made it one with my trophy stand. when I was screwing the head on it became pack up time. I still kept screwing the head on but then I got a WIP card to keep it safe for tomorrow. then when everyone went back to their class it was home time.

Math Whizz Learning

For this week of learning I wanted to share this thing called Maths Whizz which I have been doing for two weeks now. I wanted to show it because I think it's pretty cool and I like maths so here it is.

Maths Whizz is a cool website made for doing maths but it's fun maths. It turns it into a step by step learning thing by showing you the basics then you do it but I skip the step by step because I'm good at maths. At the beginning of Maths Whizz you are given a test on which tests your skills to see what level you're at. The one thing you shouldn't do is get someone to help you then your work will get way too hard and then you will just play games and get help on Maths whizz, so don't do that. Maths Whizz also measures the progress you make and will gradually get harder. 

Maths Whizz also lets you make your own avatar which is cool and lets you choose a theme. The two themes are space and jungle. After play for 15 minutes you unlock the playroom. The playroom lets make your own Maths Whizz room on which you can decorate by using credits.

So that's what Maths Whizz is all about.

Week 3 blog post (LTP) Planet Construction

This weeks blog post is about LTP like last week. This time I went to Planet Construction what I thought

 was not so fun, but now that I tried is not so bad but really fun. So let's get into this weeks blog post.

So beginning of the week is now fun because of LTP time and because it's my BIRTHDAY tomorrow

 (4.8.20). So first I got ready for Makey Makey but when I found how long the line was it was very big. It 

had like 50 PEOPLE, I could not get in when, only 27 people could get in. So then all my friends were

 going over to planet construction so I went over too. When I got in I went and did duplo but I wasn't making any thing dumb I WAS MAKING A GIANT TOWER MADE OUT OF DUPLO!!! When I started to make it, it was hard because it kept falling so me and Wolfe needed to make something to keep it stable. In the end it turned out to be pretty small, because it needed a lot of blocks at the bottom to keep it stable.

It kept breaking because it wasn't stable enough so we broke it and gave the rest of the pieces to Tay. The

 second Tay took the pieces it was pack up time. So it was a lot of blocks to pack up and it took like

 2min to pack up in the end, and in that time I learned that Planet Construction is very fun. Once everything was packed up we went back to class.
