For the past two weeks Room 1 has been working on EPRO8 challenges. Last week we had to build the tallest structure we could using 10 newspapers and 5m of tape. The tallest was over 2m. This weeks challenge to build a bridge that spanned 66cm and then see which could hold the heaviest weight. Again we had 10 newspapers, 5 m of tape and 1m of string. The winning group's bridge held 17.5kg an awesome effort.
We have had a busy week at school with swimming on Monday-Thursday and walking there and back to the pool on two days.
This week is Tongan Language week and we have been learning lots about the Friendly Isles. We finished our study on Vikings and our amazing artwork is up on the wall. We finished our art work for the fair which has hot air balloons which everyone drew. Last week we did our performance about the Taniwha of the Rakaia Gorge. Here is a link to the You tube clip of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSlCo-I76C4 |
