Don't Blame The Bee Bots

 Our own bee bot instructions 

Hi,

Today our class had the bee bots and we had to make our own track and instructions.

Making the track

First we made our track for the bee bots to move on.The spaces had to be 15 cm long.I used blocks to make my grid. It was frustrating making the grid because everyone wrecked it. 

What bee bots are

Bee bots are little robots and you can control them.There are buttons that were Forwards, Backwards, Left turn, Right turn, Clear and Pause. I don't really like bee bots because they are so slow.

Controlling beet bots

I controlled the bee bot to go 5 Forward, Turn right, Forward , Turn right, Turn left, Forward 2 Turn left, Forward 1, Turn right, Forward 2 and got to the end.  

Tuahine lighthouse metaphor. Shine your way

Hi,

Our class is making a google drawing of the Tuahine lighthouse.  My lighthouse was a big lighthouse and it had some words on it that said shine the way. I put a link in shine your way and it would lead you to the google image of the tuahine lighthouse.

I chose shine your way for my metaphor.  For me shine your way means I will shine my way through learning. I picked shine your way because a lighthouse shines your way along the sea.

I'm going to you about bee bots.

Finally we get to use the bee bots for our reading follow up task. Bee bots are little robots that you control  by pushing arrows that are forward turn right turn left and backwards.

Our reading group read 3 billy goats gruff because we had to retell the story and control the bee bots through the story.  Me and aria were doing it together.

I like  controlling  bee bots but they are sometimes frustrating. When you do one turn wrong your controls get mixed up.Me and aria got the bee bot round the story first try but the grid was kricid and the bee bot went everywhere. So we tried it on another grid. That work better  than the other grid. 

The bee bots had slow moves so it took a long time.Ou rpictures were trolls the billy goats the bridge the two hillsides.

The End

Environment Fun

Kia roa, 

This is the 6 RS

REFUSE-Can you refuse you design something that is not really needed?

REUSE-Can parts be reused?

REDUCE-Can you reduce the amount of materials being used?

RETHINK-Is this product really needed?

RECYCLE-Can you use materials that can be recycled after use?

REPAIR-Can it be repaired cheaply?

That's how you do the 6 RS.👍

THE END
