Techie Crew Learning Binary Alphabet

Hello everyone, for our challenge in the Techie crew we learn about bit, byte, kilobyte and more. The CPU says a number and the GPU translates it to a letter.

Here is a picture of the Binary alphabet.

Our task is to spell our name using Binary alphabet.

01010110 01000101 01001110 01001001 01000011 01000101

Translates to my name : VENICE
It has to be a capital because the small letters have a different code.

We also had to colour a paper with 3 different numbers to learn how fast the GPU can calculate the screen. We had to grab 3 different colours. A blue pencil, A yellow coloured pencil, A black coloured pencil.

Here is what it looked like after colouring the piece of paper filled with bits.

100 word count Week 6

Hello everyone, This week we have a new 100 word count activity. For this week we had to have this sentence in our story ( "No," he said." I like marmite") I thought about what kind of food it was. I never tasted marmite before so i came up with a story about marmite. I made marmite come alive in my story.

Here is my story hope you enjoy.
Once upon a breakfast, Peanut Butter and Bread were playing at the table. There were other lunches there too. Peanut butter noticed Marmite being alone. Nobody wanted to play with Marmite. Peanut butter didn’t do anything, he just went back to Bread and with his other friends. They played truth or dare, it was Peanut Butter’s turn. “Who do you have a crush on?” said bread. Everybody Mumbled. Of course everyone knew he liked Jelly. “Hahahah, that’s easy it's Jelly!” Said pancake. “No,” he said. “I like Marmite….” Everybody gasped. It seems like Marmite heard everything they were talking about.

100 Word Count Story

Hello everyone, today's blog post is about this week's 100 word count story. 100 word count story is about having 100 words. Our Teacher gave us half a sentence and try to fit it in the 100 word count story. For this week we had to have the word "the orange one spoke first" in our story. I imagined orange as a Halloween decoration.

My 100 word count story is about Halloween, an orange decoration from Halloween is usually pumpkins.

Here is my story.

I was hopping up and down, every house in the neighbourhood gave me candies.  “One last house to go!” I happily yelled. I hopped all the way to the last house. The house was full of mysterious decorations. It was full of spooky stuff, inside and outside. I walked towards the door and softly knocked. “Trick or treat!” I said. The only answer I got was mumbling. It sounded like the pumpkin on the ground. There were five colours. Blue, purple, pink, yellow and orange. They suddenly turned around, The orange one spoke first, “Sorry we ran out of candy.”

Flower Festival

Hello everyone, there is a flower festival coming up. Last term we did flower poems. We made flowers out of clay. We get to choose if we want the bakeable ones or the air dry clay. I chose the air dry clay. We were allowed to search up on our Chromebooks for some ideas. The more you play with the air dry clay the more it hardens so it was difficult to make a flower with the air dry clay. I made a three petal flower. I didn't have enough time to make more petals. Some people made roses. After the air dry clay was dry we got to paint them. The bakeable ones had to be baked before we painted them. I painted my flower a pastel pink. When it dried though it turned out white. I think I added to much white paint.

Here are some photos of flowers we made.

The Techie Group

Hello everyone, the techie group is back and we were learning about some basic hardware parts of the computer.
The names were RAM, ROM, CPU, Mass storage and GPU.

RAM also knows as Random Access Memory.
RAM runs between CPU and Mass Storage. It also forgets everything when you close the lid.

ROM also knows as Read Only Memory
ROM tells you basic instructions.

Mass Storage
Mass Storage helps keep your documents all together.

GPU, Graphics Processing Unit
GPU focuses on showing everything on your screen.

CPU, Central Processing Unit
CPU is very fast and smart. CPU turns info into instructions.

Spring Learning Journey Activity 13 🎂🍦

Hola everyone, this is activity 13 of Spring Learning Journey. For activity 13, it asks me would I rather never eat cake again or never eat ice cream again. I choose to never eat cake again because it's too much sweet and others kind of tastes bad. Ice cream is also sweet but cold. I think the coldness makes it so that its not too sweet.

Then we had to line up and then through the bike stands and then to the gym. I took a croissant with jam in it, I also got a yogurt. I didn't wanted to get a fruit.

Disco! 🎉😃

Hello readers, last time I posted a blog post about the school disco coming. This is a blog post of what happened.

There were a lot of songs being heard. Some of the songs were popular to us so some of us sang along to the song. I was with my friends, we had so much fun. Everybody was dancing and having fun. At the very start there was a lot of people pushing and shoving, to get glow sticks at the school disco shop. There was also a photo booth. Me and my friends went to the photo booth we also get to have accessories to wear. When the disco ended we had to leave with an adult or family member.  Between me and my friends I was the lat one to get picked up. It was so much fun. I kept on getting glow sticks and chips.

100 word count Writing 👍

Hello readers, Today i'm going to show you my 100 word count for week 9. Its suppose to have this word in it  "then everything stopped". I made the story kind of scary.

Here it is:

I was walking with my friend. We were happy because we got the new book. We didn’t notice it was nighttime. We got to the park and got separated. I suddenly saw someone coming from the dark. It approached me and yelled “YOU’RE DEAD!” First I thought it was just my friend but then when he got closer, I knew it was no joke. I ran as fast as I could trying to think he wouldn't catch up to me. I tripped and moved backwards trying to move away from the killer. Then everything stopped and I collapsed.

How to make a good screencastify 😀

Good day everyone, today I will be showing you how to make a good screencastify. This is last week's cyber smart i'm just finishing it. There were five tips about making a good screencastify. 

The first one is "short but incredible", this means your video should be between 30 sec - 2 min long. The second one is "face in the frame", this means your face must be inside the frame at all times. I didn't put the webcam for my screencastify though, The third one is "Face the Camera" this means you should be looking at the camera. The last tip is "Speak clearly" it means that you should not talk in a quite voice. 

Those are all the 5 tips of making a good screencastify.

Here is my screencastify showing "How to Make a good screencastify". Hope you enjoy.

Writing an Expsition About Sports

Hello everyone It's me again. Our class did an exposition about sports being less competitive. Firstly I wanted it to be the same as it is but then after a few reasons from everyone I decided to make an exposition abut sports being less competitive. Some people might disagree with me but hear my reasons first.

Here is my writing about sports being less competitive.

Less Competitive

I think sports should be less competitive so it’s more fun.
My other reason is so that the team won’t argue if the other team scored a goal.
The other reason is not bragging about who won or lost.

Fun is so important  while playing sports. If you don’t have fun you won’t be that
convinced to play. When you lose you feel ashamed but if it's for fun, it's an equal
score for both teams, nobody wins nobody loses. 

My second reason is about arguing if the other team scored. Your team will
always argue with the goalie or  with your teammates about not doing their
hardest. The team would think less of themselves.

Lastly is teams bragging when they won.  When you win a game you
would be cheering and hugging and telling everyone that they did well.
Some people are always bragging about how they win, sometimes they would
sing a great song about them winning.

Those are the reasons why I would want sports to be less competitive.
I am still sticking with my reasons, they were about having fun,
no arguing and no bragging. I think it would be great if sports were less competitive.

Thank you for reading this blog post.

Hope you have a great day.

Do you think sports should be less competitive or should we keep it the same?

100 Word Count For This Week 👍

Good day everyone, this is a blog post about my 100 word count. We actually have been doing 100 word counts for a long time, I just didn't want to make a blog post about it but here I am making one. So 100 word count writing is about a story with completely 100 words. Our teacher gives us a category each week about how the story would be told.

For this week it's about this picture. It looks like a statue.

 

Here is my writing about it: 

There were two young men staring at the early sunrise of winter. They were standing at two
flat rocks and they were wearing ancient coats. The brothers thought they were cool with the
coats. Suddenly during the beautiful sunrise, a green light was flashing at them. Since they
were the only ones awake, they got turned into hard stones because of the green light. They
were frozen for eternity. Centuries after that incident their families have been taking care of
them, cleaning and polishing them. They now call them, the two brother statues. They now
stay at a valuable place.

I use this tool to make sure it's 100 words. I know it looks short but I'm sure it's 100 word.

My Cool Maze (Llama and Doughnut)

Hello everyone, I have been working with the techie group with Miss Morgan and we have been making mazes.

First we had to change the characters. The characters could be animals, people or things. We had to choose two characters. The first character must go to the other character. Then we had to make a backdrop. We also added some traps. if you touched them you go back where you started.

I think i made the backdrop harder. Then we started to create the code. It was cool. I made it say something when it touches the doughnut.

Here is a picture my maze and code:
