New Coding Activity
July27
Here is a new coding activity that Mr Fabri worked with 4CS on. Follow the instructions to make your own game, then share it with your class mates.
When giving feedback, make sure you are specific in what students have done well and also how to improve. (eg instead of saying you could make your game harder, give a suggestion of how to make it harder, such as make the speed higher or include more obstacles).
Limerick Poems
July23
How to write a limerick:
The first, second and fifth lines rhyme with each other and have the same number of syllables (typically 8 or 9).
The third and fourth lines rhyme with each other and have the same number of syllables (typically 5 or 6)
Limericks often start with the line “There once was a…” or “There was a…”
Example of an 8,8,5,5,8 syllable limerick:
STAR
by Kaitlyn Guenther
There once was a wonderful star
Who thought she would go very far
Until she fell down
And looked like a clown
She knew she would never go far.
Haiku Poems
July23
“Haiku” is a traditional form of Japanese poetry. Haiku poems consist of 3 lines. The first and last lines of a Haiku have 5 syllables and the middle line has 7 syllables. The lines rarely rhyme.
Here’s a Haiku to help you remember:
I am first with five
Then seven in the middle —
Five again to end.
Jeremiah 31:33-34

Jeremiah 31:33-34
33 “This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel
after that time,” declares the Lord.
“I will put my law in their minds
and write it on their hearts.
I will be their God,
and they will be my people.
34 No longer will they teach their neighbor,
or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’
because they will all know me,
from the least of them to the greatest,”
declares the Lord.
“For I will forgive their wickedness
and will remember their sins no more.”

Coding in 4CS
July14
Today Mr Fabri visited 4CS and 4LM and explored coding. They discovered what ‘coding’ means and where it can be seen in their lives. Students all had a turn at creating their own Flappy Bird game using code they created.
When you complete level 10, leave a comment with your game’s hyperlink to allow others to play your game.
Leave a comment with:
*What worked well for you when creating your code.
*What was difficult when coding?
