Week 8

This week was our last time biking out to Bethlehem School which meant that we had to make the most of it. ( It was not our last time seeing the Year 4's as they were coming to us after the holidays). This week we were lucky enough to have the huge new hall booked out for the whole 2 sessions which ment we could get more work done with less moving around. Our map has started coming along really well and we were all assigned jobs to do so our session was more productive. Our main goal was to get our robot to go around our map and once we were successful, it was time to get a big head start on our map props. I had the job of fixing any faults in the blackline so that the robot could manover around our map with ease. Of course since we were in a new hall we had to make sure we didn't mark the floor with the PERMENANT markers but of course someone was bound to forget and that person had to be me, it was certinally not the first time either. This ment dire consequences for me in front of the whole of room 2 and 9 i had to scrub the PERMENENT marker off the floor and you know how hard it is to get PERMENENT marker off the ground. I sat there scrubbing for about 30 minutes, at least i know what never to do next time. Definitly a lesson well learn't

Last week was a success. We managed to get a lot of logs done for decorations on our map and we also had time on robot programming. Our first challenge was to get the software for the robots onto the Year 4's laptops, then we had to teach them how to get the robot to go around a black line using the software.  It was successful although there was a bit of competition over who got it to work first between a couple of teams. After that we got onto our map and we thickened the black line as the Year 4's made some logs, it is coming along very well. We have made a plan for next week and hope to get a lot more of our map done.
