Makey Makey

The Makey Makey is a small device that has some different colored wires with it we call the wires crocodile clips. It links to the computer and makes things work on screen. The Makey Makey wires link to any material,we once linked all the wires to carrots and made a piano so when you touchedthe carrots it made a piano noise. You put one end of the wire in the carrot and the other ends in the Makey Makey. Beacause we are conductors if you attatch a wire to the right arrow and hold the other end when the makey makey is plugged into the laptop the car on the screen will move right or any other way depending on which wire you are holding.   We used the Makey Makey this time to design and make games controllers for a racing game.

Snow

On Tuesday 12th it started to snow by the end of the week some places were at least  25cm  deep . Most of us have built a snowman witch was really fun! We are constantly playing in it. But we need to keep warm with hats and gloves. Everyone keeps slipping over. You need to be careful because all the ice is hidden under the snow! In Farndale and Bransdale the snow is really deep! The ice is so slippy we can sledge on it and go really fast, we keep going flying! Here is a picture of Farndale :
