Chinese Zodiac Character challenge

-

 


Have you accepted Miss Laxa's Chinese Zodiac challenge?  Here are some of the entries from our class.  Wahidah and Gwen have shared their dragon and horse drawings.  


Remember it can be a drawing, or even a model that you make.  Have you got any ideas you could make using Lego, cardboard or even something recycled?


Perhaps you could combine a range of materials like Meleane has done. Doesn't it look effective? Or even like Joshua, who used lego.

    These are awesome drawings. I particularly like that they both have used thematic colours. I too was born in the year of the horse, I suspect a bit earlier though. I hope you keep up with the challenges, they are great to see.

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 return to class learning and distance zoomers

 We are enjoying having our distance learners zooming in to join the students in class for Literacy and Maths.  It can be a bit of a juggle, but everyone seems to be enjoying catching up, and still being able to learn alongside each other. This week in Maths we have really been getting the hang of early algebra, working out sequences and repeating patterns. Earlier in the week the class based students used interlocking cubes to challenge those at home to work out their patterns, and what would be the next colours in their sequences. One or two even made minor changes to see whether the others could see slight changes in order of their blocks. Meleane on Friday set us all, students at home and those in class, the challenge to work out whether she was using a repeating or non repeating pattern.  There were a few tricks to hers too.  Can you work out which are repeating or non repeating pattern sequences? Perhaps join us over this coming week where we are learning about increasing or decr

Creating repeating and growing patterns for Algebra

-

 The last few days we have been challenging each other with working out if we have been making repeating or growing patterns in Maths.  We have also been finding ways to make a code to follow so that we can name the patterns we have also been making or studying, and also beginning to predict what will come next in the sequence. Today we began working on increasing and decreasing pattern sequences, and how tables can be made to show the changing patterns.  Our next challenge for tomorrow is to use each other's creations to predict what might come in the 5th, 10th or 12th position, or even the number of cubes we would need to make them.
