What is a Microbit?

By
Hello everyone today I will be talking about a coding board the Microbit. This coding board is from the U.K. It is pretty much a Europe version of the kid bright and smaller. So let me explain the Microbit is really small and only has a few LED lights and 3 buttons though there are a few advantages and disadvantages for the Microbit. Let's start with the advantages first.


 So the Microbit is a lot smaller than the kid bright and since it is a lot smaller than the kid bright it can be used as a wearable watch. Since it is smaller than the kid bright it doesn't mean that it can do less things than the kid bright. They both can do multiple things and are both very similar. Like for example, they both have a LED screen and they both have 3 buttons. The Microbit can be able to play on the website so you don't have to download anything unlike the kid bright. The kid bright does have a simulator though. There are free tutorials on the website or the app on how to make codes and games. You can make advance things like cars or robots by watching people make them on Youtube or websites. It has a tilt sensor so that means you can shake it and do other things cool with that.
Next is the disadvantages of the Microbit. So first you can't really draw a lot of detailed pictures or really big pictures with the LED screen on the Microbit. The buttons are really small. Since the board is small the buttons are also small and they are really small. They are not too small until it is like unpressable, but all I am saying is that if you have big hands you have the ability to literally BREAK or DESTROY this board with a push of a finger. Speaking of DESTROYING things coding boards are really easy to break. They can break by water or by hand.



There are many things you can do with the Microbit. Like for example a duct tape watch or step counter, Robots or cars or make your own rock paper scissors game with the tilt sensor that is in the board. Anyways that is all I am going to talk about today bye!

By
Hello everyone! It's me Focus and today I will be talking about Mother's day! Well, I forgot to write about Mother's day yesterday, but here I am! At least I didn't forget it completely! So Happy Mother's Day to everyone! I hope you all had/have a great Mother's day yesterday! So today, of course, is on the Topic of mothers!  Everyone has Mother's right? I mean you can't be born unless you have a Mother, but there are also other kinds of parents. Like Adopted parents. If you don't have parents then, of course, you have Adopted or Stepparents. No matter what a mother is someone who cares for you dearly no matter if they are family-related or not. I care and love my Mom a lot and she loves me too. You know that thing like Mother's instinct? Yeah never mess with Mother's especially if it's a wild animal. That is just a heads up. Anyways I'm sure a lot of people love their Moms some don't. Either way, we must be together with our fami...

We ate lunch then went to the maze that you call IKEA. Me being me went to sit on every small  armchair. Okay not just the small sized ones. Everytime I sait on an armchair I would do this villian pose just to be silly. My goal was to creep everyone out and to also cheer my mom up because I noticed she was a bit sad. Which worked, but of course something dreadful happned. I LOST MY PHONE. Now It wouldn't haven been so bad except It was  bad. I noticed that my phone was gone right when we were about to leave IKEA.

Then he told me a worker at IKEA found it  and us to go to the control room. My mom also forgot to buy somethings s...

By
Hello everyone today I will be talking about Central Festival Eastville. If you didn't know Central Festival Eastville is a mall and has a lot of places to buy stuff. So I went there with my dad because he had a meeting there with some people and we had some lunch as well I tried the truffles and the mac and cheese there. Though I think I kinda wanna try and make my own truffles now! Anyways I looked around and we went to the Food section. I mean I call it the food section because there you can buy a lot of food and there are different type of food there is dessert, bread and many more! I wanted to look around more, but we couldn't and we quickly went to the THINK SPACE section. A kingdom for book and stationery lovers... It is a book store and is very quiet. though I must say also of the stuff there was a bit expensive for the things that weren't the books of course. It is a large book store that looks very wide, designed with space to walk around, explore and read a bu...
