Carrot Contraptions...

This Friday, Room 27 will be constructing their 'Carrot Contraptions'

In pairs, students are having to design and make a wheeled vehicle from the following materials:

-       scissors                         -  carrot or parsnip

-       knife                             -  tooth picks

-       straws        

-       pliers                            -  wire, 1mm wide

The vehicles can have 3 or more wheels and must be able to ‘run’ down a slope and cross a line 30cm from the end.  A good design should travel fast and straight and the wheels should not fall off at any stage.


Pictures and video will be posted here on Friday!

Year 6 Technology Challenge: Newspaper Wearable Arts

As part of our 'Big Day Out', the Year 6 students in Rooms 25, 26 and 27 were asked to design and make an outfit made of newspaper to be worn on Thursday afternoon!

The designed garments had to be a complete outfit that were cello-taped, or glued together. The 'model' had to walk down the catwalk while wearing the finished garment.

Almost all of the Habits of Mind were used by the children.  Have a look at the photos and video below and use the WOW Habit of Mind yourself!
