Welcome to Room 6's Blog...

We are one of the Year 3 & 4 classes at Russley School. We aim to work together well so that we can achieve success in everything we do. To help us be successful students we use the Russley Dispositions. They help us to train our brains to think successfully when we are faced with problems where the answer is not immediately known. On our Blog you will find photos, videos, up-coming events, notices and a range of other exciting information that we would love to share with you!

Carrot Madness!

As part of our technology unit, the tamaraki have constructed their very own carrot cars. 

 The task was to design and make a wheeled vehicle from the following materials:
-       scissors                         -  carrot or parsnip
-       knife                             -  tooth picks
-       straws        
-       pliers                                    
-    wire, 1mm wide


The vehicle was allowed to have three 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. I wonder if any of these awesome cars will be able to do just that?

These are just a sample of pictures. I'll post some more when we test them tomorrow!
