My E-Portfolio, Blog & The year 10 DigiTech Google+ community

My E - Portfolio is going to be used to visually showcase the work that I will be doing in Technology this year. My Blog will be used to reflect on my learning in Technology. The year 10 DigiTech Google+ community will be used to collaborate with other students about the work that we complete in DigiTech.


We will be developing a game relating to Sustainability. We have been trialling a game to learn new skills in scratch.

Three Skills I have learn't in Scratch so far include:

• I'v learn't how to code
• How to make Sprites
• How to make Backdrops

Transum, By Melissa

This morning for Math we tried out a new website called Transum. It had games about all the different subjects/topics you have in Math. First I tried a game called Addle. It was about Addition. You had to add up the given numbers to get the answer that was already filled in. It wasnt that hard. Hopefully they put more sums in and make it more challenging by putting answers from 500 to 5000. The next game I played was called Car puzzle. I dont really know what it had to do with math but I found it challenging when I got up to level 5.

Geometry, By Melissa

Last week we were learning/trying to cement the knowledge about geometry into our brains. Our first task was drawing a rectangle and then drawing random straight lines in it. We ended up with all sorts of different shapes. We then chose 2 different colours along with a black colouring pencil. I chose blue and purple. After colouring in all the shapes we had to cut it out and then glue it into our math book. After that we had to cut out some shapes and form a rectangle. Next we got a worksheet of a flat shape. We had to figure out what it made and then cut it out. The first shape I made was a cube. The shape after that was a cone. After cutting out the shapes the rest of the class had to explain the different shapes there are and how many sides, edges, faces and corners they have. Unfortunately I had to leave, but i'm pretty sure I have cemented some of the shapes of geometry.

Expectations for Sports Camp! , By Melissa

Sports Camp 2015

Last year at Sports Camp was fun. There was a lot of encouragement and support. I think that this year I will be in most of the sports.  

I'm expecting this year to be a lot of fun, but not as much fun as it was last year because most of my friends won't be coming this year.

I'm expecting us to come 1st and to win more trophies than last year because we’re versing different schools then last year.

I’m hoping that we will be able to go on the water slide.

I'm expecting that we will be in all the sports for the finals, there will be more photos taken , and that there won't be any stealing.  

Sports camp to me is like a holiday and anyone that isn't coming they're missing out on a lot of fun.

Core values:

Sportsmanship
Teamwork

Respect

Encouragement

Discipline
