Making and trialling parachutes

After reading one of our reading group's texts 'How to make a parachute' some children have made their own and tried it out today.

Reading non fiction books gives us all new learning experiences and teaches us about topics we would like to explore. This book helped us to find something to do with the pile of soft plastic bags, and unwanted little toys that others have outgrown.

Pac Man Challenge

Focus: to revise Maths Knowledge and Skills from during the year in the context of our School Conmunity! 

Room 20 invited R21 and R16 to participate in our challenge too - check out their windows this week as well!

Children were put into groups of 3 and given a bag of 10 challenges to complete in any order. 

Each challenge was awarded 2 stick it notes when Mrs Trembath had listened to  how the group had solved each challenge, before they were given the go ahead to choose another challenge from their bag.

Our own straw stadiums!!

Mr Armstrong Jessica's Dad was very helpful today and helped us with our own creative designs.

Lots of fine motor skills, cutting, sticking, estimating, changing ideas and adaptation - and great fun!

Tinker time with Osmo today!

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
