Maker-Y Robotics with Braedon and Kootuitui

Red Hill School Year 7/8 students had the opportunity to experiment, control, programme, code and work with their peers to manoeuvre and operate the Robotics.

Braedon was an excellent teacher who introduced us to some very complex language. We were able to complete a series of tasks to control our robots.

One question we did ask was if it was possible to Bluetooth the Robots. Braeden explained to us that there needs to be a few adjustments to the programme to be able to operate them using Bluetooth.

We had two sessions using Robotics and our teachers were impressed with our performance. We all learnt at least one important piece of information to support our peers and our group.

Who knows? In the future we could become game programmers for our XBox and Playstation consoles.

Little Garden Planters

On Wednesday we did gardening with Miss Parker.

We had to plant the seedlings into the miniature pots. It was a messy job!

An Experience at the Papakura Art Gallery and Pascal Atiga

Red Hill School had the privilege to work alongside an ex-pupil of Red Hill School to create an exciting art piece.

Pascal Atiga attended Red Hill School as a child, his children attended the same primary school so how fitting was it for him to approach Red Hill School and to engage our present pupils to partake in his exhibition.

This collaboration of work by Pascal and the Year 7/8 students will be on display on Saturday 28 October at the Papakura Art Gallery. The students of Amua will definitely be there to view their work. Exciting!

A great day had by all!
