On Wednesday we are learning about Binary and ASCII.
Binary is a number system that uses 1’s and 0’s to represent all of our normal set of numbers. You can use the place values as multiples of 2 to work out how to do it for yourself! Try watching this video to give it a go yourself!
ASCII is set of encoded symbols that a computer uses to turn Binary into letters and other symbols from the English language (like what is on our keyboard). I turned my initials into binary numbers, and then turned those binary numbers into an ASCII code! Using colors to represent the 1’s and 0’s, my initials in ASCII can be represented by the pattern you see in my image below!
What do you think? Have you ever tried encoding anything in binary or ASCII?
And for Literacy we wrote a introduction for a horror story, it could be as short or as long as we wanted it to be, here's mine-
Pitter patter, rain lightly spat onto the roof, it was a dull Saturday morning, Jenny woke up to the sound of her alarm going off shrilly beside her, she reached over to turn it off when she heard a big thump coming from another room, Jenny lived alone but since she had only just woken up she brushed it off and continued to stopped her alarm and go back to sleep. BANG another loud noise came from her kitchen, she decided to get up and investigate, she walked out of her small, dark room and down her narrow hallway her short, dark curly hair bounced upon her shoulders, when she got to the end of the hallway she turned to the kitchen, she looked down at the floor, one of her beloved house plants had taken a fall from the kitchen counter to the cold tiles, the clay pot smashed all over the floors, who, or, what had done this? she thought to herself, she didn't have a pet, she was in the apartment alone, or so she thought…
That's all for this week, Bye!
Hi India,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your horror introduction, it really makes me want to keep reading. Next time maybe explain your story more.
