Trust Games

-

 As part of our Pink Shirt anti-bullying tasks we have played different trust games.  One involved working with a classmate to lift a crumpled piece of paper only with our index finger, and once mastered with our pinkie finger.  Our second game meant we had to stand toe to toe, with our wrists linked, and work together to sit down, stand up and lean back without falling over.


Our last challenge was to stand in a big circle and hold 2 different people's hands across the circle, before working together to unwind our tangle, without letting go of each other's hands.  This was a lot harder, and needed far more talking and working together to do it.

Our takeaway today was that we were using our Collaboration value, using team work to work together, as it was activities we couldn't do by ourselves.  It also meant we had to work with people we trust, and could rely on. And to try again, even if it didn't go to plan.

    Looks like super fun room 17. I am sure that the game brought you lots of laugher and fun. I think that lifting a piece of paper with your little finger would certainly challange me.

Experiments with Force and Motion

As part of our exploration into Force and Motion, we have been making Marble Runs, Marble Mazes and Domino Chains. Cyrus created an effective chain of DVD cases and books, beginning his chain by rolling a ball towards it and also getting it to run around a corner. With the challenge on to experiment with a large run of dominoes, Joshua built a superbly complex design. He used a range of layered dominoes, a car race track and a small car to launch his chain. If you would like more information or to see what others have created and learnt, please scroll down to the padlets below and view our class work which is getting updated and added to most days.

Our Summer Challenge poem - Writers Circle

-
Image
 We've been given a challenge to write a summer poem, that uses only 3 of our senses, based on a picture of a boy mowing a lawn.  Stage 1 was to draw and then brainstorm some ideas for the sounds and smells we would have on a summer's day while lawns are being mown in the neighbourhood. Today's stage was to read the mentor's piece of writing, and look at the set out and language used. Using highlighters we located nouns, verbs and adjectives; talking about how they were used and what they do in a piece of writing. Our next stage is to write our own, and share with each other so that we can make it come alive for our readers.
