Tinker Time with the Osmos coding

Coding has now been added to our apps. Lots of discussion and forward thinking is needed to solve these problems. Lateral thinking and perseverance are really important in Room 20!

Look at Joshua and see his feeling of success! 

Inspired by the Beijing Water Cube! Maths and Technology join forces in this Storm of Ideas!

One of the sports stadiums we looked at was the Water Cube in Beijing which was built for the Beijing Olympics Aquatics. We talked about why the Architect chose to design the building like this. What does it remind you of? Water, molecules, ice, bubbles, floating - use your imagination!


So we set about making our own mini stadium using paper, card, sellotape and a secret material to wrap it all up in!

The shape of our stadium was begun with a hexagonal base. Then we had to roll paper to make cylinders. Next we chose the triangular frame shape to hold our wall up as we noticed the beams in our classroom were triangles so we decided they must be the strongest shape.

So here is the frame work all sturdy and strong!

Tinker time with Osmo today!

Tangrams Numbers and Words! What will we discover this week?

Our Epic Enviro BreakOut

Today Room 20 persevered and problem solved to complete the Enviro BreakOut with Mrs Daniel. Here's what they said about it:

"We were finding the clues. I liked the part when we wrote them down, cause we were reading carefully". Siena

"It was epic!" Hayden

"I liked finding the clues, because it felt like finding treasure. I used the alphabet to crack the code. I counted to H and it was 8. I figured it out." Dean

"You have to use your brain, 'cause it is a riddle." Olivia

"It was fun to run around in the fresh air." Brodie

"You have to work hard to find the answers." Jessica

"We were looking behind trees and bushes." Chloe C

I felt fun and excited. I couldn't wait til we found the last clue." Jacob

I enjoyed it, because when i got to the last one I felt happy because i did all of them." Joshua

Fantastic Joshua!

Great thinking in place value maths this week!
