Winter Sport

After a great and fulfilling season throughout Term 2 and 3, Winter Sport has finally come to an end. Trying something new was a challenge for me, but I was satisfied with the outcome. Year 7/8 Football was an interesting endeavor, we may not of had the best team, but we were always high in spirit and enthusiasm. Winter Sport was always something to look forward to, and constantly engaging. It was a great end to a season full of fun, and our team even got into Centrals!
Here is an animation I made based on our season at Hagley Park:

Coding Showcase!

Hey all, sorry for my absence in posts, I have been away for a couple of weeks. But today, I am here to show off some of my coding projects! These projects have been created using Scratch, a fun website that you can use to make anything you want! You don't even need an account (you will need to one to save your projects though). Here are some of my projects:

Digital Badge

I have earned a Gold Level Smart Learning Badge. This means I have achieved and understand how to use the following on Google Docs: 
  • Add and use a bookmark
  • Insert and use a graph
  • Use Voice Typing
  • Insert a footnote
  • Insert an equation
  • Insert a special character
  • Use Add-ons
  • Edit a table (outline)
  • Change bullet-point sprite
  • Insert a chart using Google Sheets
  • Copy to clipboard
  • Fullscreen
It is important that we know how to use these tools because it then means we can use Google Docs to its full use. I believe that one day everyone should be at a gold level, because then everyone in our classroom will be a good digital user!

When have you been encouraged to use devices to display your knowledge of a website or app? Tell me in the comments!

Science Fair - Part 5

After the Celebration of my learning, I have been asked to write a blog post on my driving question. What is a driving question? It's not my question but the purpose of why I asked the question, which was 'how do I successfully conduct an investigation?' We learnt how to do this by conducting an experiment, my one being 'how easily can you password be hacked?' A driving question is finding out how or why we do something by asking a different question, so sort of like drawing data from your data; we look at our presentation and see how to write a question, hypothesis, list of materials, method, sum up your results, or a conclusion.

When have you ever done something involving a driving question? Tell me down below!
