My turn with the bee bots in reading time
First we got these squares on a piece of paper. Koka Rozie told us to draw what we saw in the book like a jungle or an animal. Second thing we did we had to cut out the squares and get a bee bot. A bee bot is a robot that has these arrows on them and if you press one of the buttons like right and then hit go it would move the way you pushed the button in that direction. That is what a bee bot is, some of us learned what they were from Makey Makey in LTP. Once we finished we cut out all our squares and put them in a pile while either waiting for a grid to be free or waiting for the tape so we could make another grid.
The grid weas for the squares and the bee bots. The bee bots had to be on the grid because the squares inside of the grids were for the bee bots to turn and move around. The squares were for when we drew all the places we had to put them anywhere around the grid. Then we had to get a bee bot and press the buttons for the directions it would go in. When I tried it went forward 4 times then left 1 time then forward 2 times.
Once we pressed the button direction we wanted them to go we pressed go and then the teacher told us to not touch the bee bots and let them try to figure out where you actually wanted it to go. But sometimes it wouldn't work you might have accidently pressed right instead of left or you could have pressed backwards so it went backwards. So sometimes you actually have to be careful of what button you press. When we practiced a lot most of us got it. Once we thought we got it all sorted out we asked our teacher if she could record it. And on that try when she was recording us we sometimes got it and sometimes not.
But that was ok if we didn't get it we just kept on doing it and practicing and once we all got it correct. We were all so happy that we noticed that we could connect the bee bots like a train, we actually learned from Raphi ,he is in our class. Once we got over being so proud of ourselves we did our karakia and went off to morning tea and that was it. Whoever is reading this thank you for taking the time to read this.
