Designing a game with Code

Hello everyone,
Today we have been creating our own games on Scratch Junior. My game was about me trying to get to a house. We used arrows in the North, South, West and East directions. We coded them so every time me clicked them the person would move in that direction. My favourite part was trying to complete my game. The hardest part was getting the person to the end. The learning behind this was to know how to create a basic game. I learnt about the tap button. I learnt how if you have coded the code properly when you touch one of the characters they will make another character move.
Here is a screencastify about me doing my game:

Structure of the Earth Comic

Hello everyone,

For the last two weeks, we have been learning about the Structure of the Earth. We learnt about the four layers of the Earth. The crust, mantle, outer core and inner core are the layers of the Earth. We learnt what the four layers are made up of too. After a few days of learning about the Earth's structure we had to create a comic, questionnaire or an animation about the structure of the Earth. I chose the comic. After we finished the comic we made a PMI chart. I enjoyed doing it because I got to create my comic and be as imaginative as I wanted it to be. It was tricky to fit all the writing I wanted into my boxes. The learning behind this was to know about the four layers of the Earth.
Here is my comic:

Is Earth like a hard - boiled egg?

Kia ora bloggers,



We are learning about what the Earth is like on the outside and the inside. We used hard-boiled eggs as mini-models for the earth. We got to design our own continents and islands on the outside of the egg shell. At the end of the experiment we got to eat the egg! The egg tasted okay.

Here is a photo of my egg Earth:

Maths Halving

Kia ora,

Today, we have been halving shapes. We had to get into pairs and rule a shape. Then, our buddy had to find out where was half in their shape. I found it easy to find half in my buddies shape because the shape was very plain. One half of my buddies shape was 19 boxes. I enjoyed designing my shape. I found it hard to draw my shape onto my chrome book.  Sorry if the halves go over the grid.
Here is my shape:
