Second trip

Off we go to B.S. When we reached the school we went into the hall and split into 2 groups,
the group we were in had to send the robots to the blue line. We set it to 15 seconds on the laptop we put it to coast which made it go fast and turned the power to 100%. We raced another team  called the Retarded Rabbits. We won of course. After that we had to make a map of the forest so our team drew lines and we put other fairy tales next to parts of the lines and made a bridge. Miss Cording told us to connect 4 A4 papers and cellotape them together.  We then drew a circle so the robot could follow it. Soon we had to go back I said goodbye to both of them, Nick and Nicole.
Can't wait till next time!

Awesome day!

Today we biked over to Bethlehem School. It was hard biking up the big hill but at the end it was worth it.
Our buddies were shy at first . The teacher said to get in pairs so I went with Nicole and my other partner went with Nick. She would say elbows to elbows quickly we would thrash our elbows together and when she said back to back we would put our huge back's to the little backs of the Year 4's. Soon after that we were told to sit down so we did the teacher numbered us of 1,2. Our group had to set up this blog and make up a name for the group. Nick said we should be 'Wild Donkeys' so all of us agreed. After that our group changed to programming the robots not by computers but by itself it seemed so easy but it wasn't easy the boy in our group Nick said he could do it and ran off with it, even he couldn't do it. Soon after that we had morning tea. Unfortunately we couldn't stay for the 2 blocks because the little kids had their production. We left after morning tea and biked backed to school.

My partner and I thought it was the coolest day ever! We hoped that Nicole and Nick thought we were cool as well.
