Programming Concepts

As a year 7 student from Lake Brunner School, we have been exploring programming concepts and we are focusing on our friend, the 'for' loop. This means that we don't have to write the same code over and over again, we can be more efficient. We then tried the Maze Challenge and we changed the colours of the maze to personalize it to our liking. We then replaced the 24 lines of code with just 8 lines by putting in this very useful code,

for i in range (0,3):

  myPen.forward(70)

  myPen.right(90)

  

I got this challenge from http://www.101computing.net/turtle-maze/

Weekend Journal

On Friday Greymouth Aces ( my team ) had a game versing the other Greymouth team, Greymouth Gold. I scored 3 goals and the final score was 4 nil to my team! On Saturday mum got an email saying I had gotten into West Coast under 13s hockey. Then we went to Westport to see my uncles and aunties and my Granddad. On Sunday I had my first hockey training for West Coast. I really enjoyed it and learnt a few tricks to help me in a game and training. This year for West Coast were going to Christchurch and Nelson.

On Friday I had my hockey game. My team (Greymouth Aces) versus Hokitika. This was our second game against them, We won the first, but unfortunately this time it was 2 - 3 to Hokitika. We defiantly are passing more as a team and working together much better when we started the season. On Saturday  I went to my Nanas house to have lunch with my cousins, uncles and aunties. I didn't do much on Sunday.

Stacy, my main character has to move around the maze to get to the finish sprite. On the way she encounters some challenges and must persevere to get to the finish line. She can gain points on the way.  Please use up, down, left and right keys to move. I am a year 7 student working on a class project. This is still a work in progress.

You can play the game on the blog and I would love to hear your feedback.

This game has been made on scratch which is an online platform which allows me to drag and drop the code. I am also going to use visual python trinket to make a game using the turtle programme.

Over the last hour I have been working on Python Visual I have discovered how to change the colour, make movement and lots more.
  

Trail Blazer In Space Poem

TRAILBLAZER IN SPACE POEM

Anticipation,

The Count-down started,

My Adrenalin is on the rise,

The Ground starts Vibrating ,

I am off for better,

or worse...

Isolation,

Silence fills the air around me,

I catch a glimpse of mother,

Excitement and hope fill my heart,

This nightmare may finally be over,

I am going home.

Destination,

Adrenaline turns to fears,

I am not home,

I am in a concrete jungle,

Disappointment is all I feel...

Time hasn’t changed We have changed over time,

Nothing is going to change if we don’t start Changing It.

On the Saturday I didn't do much, I just did some baking and rode my pony with Tara and fought a little bit with her. On Sunday mum went to work so Tara and I did all the baledge and hay feeding for all of the ponies (Stormy, Holly, Cricket and Skippy) so then they could eat and graze all day so they weren't hungry. It took about 2 and a bit hours and it was pretty hard work. Mum feeds them baledge everyday so Tara and I have decided every weekend we will do it so then its easier for mum.

My Art Response

Title: Storm Cloud Photograph

Photographer: Unknown

Reviewer: Tess Morgan

The Storm Cloud photograph by an unknown artist, shows darkened violet clouds that are lifting and breaking apart exposing bright light and showers of rain. At the bottom of the photograph there is a thick black line with a lighthouse, a few trees and houses too. The photograph looks like it has been taken very far away from the building and trees and is focused on the dark set sky easing into a nice peachy colour at the end.

The Storm Cloud photograph is a lovely picture that has mix of hot and cold colors that fit in nicely together.

This picture is unique because the photographer captured a very special moment in the day, with the clouds gaping to show the rain shining through. The image captures my eye since this is a rare moment, with the weather changing with a significant shine. The dark, cold clouds are gloomy from the storm but as the sky calms, the clouds emerge and break the barrier and brings light to the day.

When I first viewed this artwork, I personally thought that the rain was not there, It looks like sun rays are shining through the clouds, not rain. Through the gaps in the clouds I thought it was the light from the sun that was coming through although the caption on the artwork said it was the rain mixing with the sun to show the light. I think personally that the sun coming from the clouds are shining because it was a dark setting.

I think the storm cloud photograph by an unknown artist, is a soothing photograph that the artist has captured a magnificent moment in time. I would recommend seeing more of these types of magical photos.

On the weekend It was Queens Birthday. On Monday my sister Brydie gave me a lesson on Skippy my pony. It was a jumping lesson so perfecting my my aids going into the jump and slowing down after the jump so then I don't lose control. For my lesson I didn't have to go to pony club this time since my dad has made an arena really good for jumping in so it makes it a lot easier for mum, so she doesn't have to drive into Greymouth all the time. Brydie said my next step is to make sure I have control after the jump incase of another jump in front of me. I am very excited for my next events and the showjumping season coming up!
