Pascal's Triangle

Pascal’s Triangle

We are learning about Pascal’s triangle. The patterns I saw is that if you color in the odd numbers they make different size triangles. Another pattern I saw is that you can double the numbers to find the missing numbers. I also saw that there was a whole line of one's on each side of the triangle. On each row we had to count up the total of numbers in that row. While doing this I learnt more about Pascal’s triangle.

Extension Trip - Digital Nations 2030

On Monday the 19th of February the year 7 & 8 extension group went on a trip to Cordis, because we were attending an event called “Digital Nations 2030”. There we got to code with makey makey and more. There were two schools that were lucky enough to go this event and that was Pt England and Christ The King.

While we were there I had so much fun, mostly because we got a lot of prizes. My favorite part of the event was trying out the quiz because I think that it was really fun but then it was also hard at the same time, so it gave me a challenge.

After this event I felt like I knew more about coding. I thought this event was amazing and I would love to experience it again. I would like to say a huge thank you to Zoe and all the people that invited us to this event I loved it so much.

Swift playground reflection

While I was using Swift Playground I thought it was really fun. I learnt a lot of things like what Commands and Sequences are. Like first of all sequences are a order which the commands are given. I also learnt about commands which is something/someone tells you to do something and you have to do it. It’s kind of like instructions you have to do.
