Inventions Sharing

This afternoon the whole school got together to share all their inventions.
Room 7 did a great job sharing thier robots to the other children, explaining what thier robot can do and how they made them.
We enjoyed looking at the inventions that the other children had made. We thought everyone did an amazing job with thier inventions. Well done.

YES - Anyone can be an inventor!

The Student Council cooked us hotdogs for lunch today. They were super yummy! Thank you very much Student Council.

Shake Out

At 9.26am we were part of SHAKE OUT! This was a national earthquake drill.
We have been learning about what to do in an earthquake so that we can keep safe - DROP, COVER, HOLD.

Cross Country

Room 7 has been training for cross country this week. We run around the field and count how many laps we do. We try to run 1 more lap the next time.  Room 7 really enjoys cross country and we have some super speedy runners. Keep up the fantastic training! Cross country is in week 2 so we need to keep training over the holidays too!

 

HotDogs

Yum! Hotdogs for lunch! Dont forget to put your order in Room 7.

 

Save the Burning Building

We have designed our own game: Save the Burning Building

Our first step was to PLAN:

 

 

 

Then we GATHERED the things for our game and we MADE it:

 

 

Then we tried our game out:

 

 

We then wrote instructions on how to play our game:

 

 1: Each player rolls the dice and moves the fire truck along the board.

 2: When you land on a ladder you have to go up it.

 3: When you land on a pole you have to go down.

 4: The first person to reach the burning building wins the game.

 

 

Our next step was to put on our green thinking hat and MODIFY our game.

 

These are our ideas:

 

Make the board colourful.

Put a longer pole in.

Put a longer ladder in.

Make some more poles so the game is harder.

 

We then put our red thinking hat on to EVALUATE our game.

 

Here is what we thought:

 

We liked our game because you go down the poles.

We liked our game because we liked rolling the dice and counting.

We liked our game because we climbed the ladders and could win the game. 

We thought the game was fun and easy.

We liked rolling the dice and counting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Least to Most Important Invention

We had to sort 4 inventions from the most to least important on a continuum. We had to justify our opinions.

 

Snakes and Ladders

Last week Room 7 played Snakes and Ladders. We decided that we wanted to adapt the game to make it better - Lets be inventors! We put on our green hat and thought of ways to change Snakes and Ladders.

Step 1: Plan - Here are our ideas
