Week 8

In week 8 we learnt about different game creators such as runaway play . Me and my buddy did Runaway play because we thought it was good because it was based on nature. Then we did an informational sheet.

Then we got in to groups of 3 or 4 my group was Eva, Raphael and I.

For our app we picked to do Minecraft because we can make it more realistic and we can make it 3-D.

We put in the l&p, hobbit hole,rainbow end, botanical Gardens,Kiwi pohutukawa, tui pukeko and manuka.

We worked really well together because after school hours we would call each other and work on our world.

so here’s what we did.

Others learned about Jean Batten, the amazing pilot who flew all the way across the world.Some of us even explored the life of Ernest Rutherford, the scientist who helped discover atoms!

In my group we had Jean batten. We worked together to find important dates in their lives – like when they were born, when they did something amazing, and when they changed the world. We put all our facts in order to make a giant timeline on a big sheet of paper. It was like building a story of their life!

We turned our paper timelines into digital timelines on Canva.
