Instructional Report Writing

This term we have been writing instructional reports. One of the topics we covered was how to create a Lego animation. Here are a few examples

Our Torches

Over the past few weeks We have been creating our torches. After sketching them we created the prototypes. One problem that every group had was that once it was built there was not an easy way to change the batteries. So we had to redesign the torches to have removable batteries.

This week we are creating Morse Code messages to send a message to other groups. Stay tuned for the results.

Classroom Art Displays

Can Art

 One of our inquiry understanding was to apply our knowledge of properties of substances to the safe and appropriate use of these in everyday life. For one of our learning experiences we decided to re-use soda cans as canvases and create can art.

Clay Carving 

·       In term 3 one of our understanding was  to explore how the arts are used for different purposes in a variety of cultures and contexts. One of the many ways we did this was to create Maori cultural clay carvings.

Week 3 Inquiry

This week we focused on building better circuits and  sketching out plans for our Flashlights. Deciding what materials we need to build them and who was going to get them.
