Mindstorm mania

To start today I started working on my affective study on Ole Kirk Christiansen the inventor of lego. Then when it came to passion time  my passion project was finished.
I got to start making a new mindstorm all for my passion project and I've made the standered bot already and the best thing is that its a NXT 2. Also today I learnt how to program my mindstorm using the computer program  but since I've only got the basic bot I can only make it move and talk for now which is pretty cool. I've decided next week that I'm going to start building the shooter bot to start with and when its done and all programed its going to be really cool.

Victory

When I walked into Enrich this morning, I got the best news and a big surprise. Katie told me that my movie was a finalist in the Year 4-6 Documentary section of the MADE Awards. I'm so thrilled!!! So all my hard work paid off and now I'm waiting to see what happens next.

To start the day, we had a game of chess but only Hyrum and I were playing chess - everyone else got on with their Affective projects. In the end, Hyrum bet me. I only had a King and he had a King and a Queen.

Later on in the day, it was time for guitar lessons. Today we got the chords to some of the songs we are learning to play. After that was finished, it was time for a tech challenge. The challenge was to make a chair that the large frog could sit on. I had to join in with a group that were part-way through the challenge, and they didn't look like they were having great success. We took up the finished product to the front for judging, and our chair fell apart and sadly it wasn't much of a success!
