In 1G we have been learning all about dinosaurs and, for our memorable event, we invited our friends and family to a film premiere of our very own dinosaur films. We hope you enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed making it.

Code: welcome to the new world!
For my eCadet application I have chosen to blog about code.
There are lots of different sites and systems to use to code eg: Scratch, Python, Kodu and things you can code on eg: Kano, Computer, Rasberry pi. But to actually code is a whole different thing, Sure anyone can go on Scratch and put some blocks together to make a game. But not everyone can write commands using numbers and letters to create a complex way of doing something.
Last year I went to a Hackathon, where lots of coders came together and worked all night to see who could create the newest, most efficient way of reading a magazine. One of the winners made it so you can read a magazine on your watch.
Coding is also brilliant because it is always open to everyone, most ways you can just find online. There are also lots of clubs for coding set up all around the country, not just in school. Coding is what makes it possible to create computer software, apps, websites you name it, and they are all made with code even this blog it is all made with code.
The forever-loved game Minecraft has very complicated code as many games do but in Minecraft you create a world…
The newest way of creating a world is virtual reality, in virtual reality you are living in it. It is more than just 3d.
This clip is about how to code a virtual room.
Technically the new world is already here, only you can code the future.
There are a lot of great things about technology but this is one of my favourites. In the past if you wanted to see or learn something about a place you would have to visit the building or read about it in the library but nowadays you can just go on a computer and look at it on the internet. Now google have made a website that allows you to go inside a place and look around it without leaving your home! Often the pictures are more detailed then going to the building yourself. This is especially useful for people that live in a different country to where the building is. Here is an example of the street view: British museum street view
This is a view you can see when you go on to google street map view, its of the outside of the British museum.
This is another view from the inside of the British museum
This is also something you can look at but there are also a lot of different places you can visit.
