We made a bridge....







After reading the Three Billy Goats Gruff we decided to design and make our own bridges. Our design brief was that it must span from table one to table three and be able to hold two goats and a couple of toy cars without bending. Some of our bridges were able to withhold lots of cars and goats and some were not. We have really enjoyed being able to build our own bridge.

Our Art Rage Class



We have been working hard to create our portraits using Art Rage. We had to sketch over our photo and then use an e-paint brush to complete our look. It was very tricky to do but the results are fantastic. We have such a cool looking class.....what do you think?

Mondrian Pics




For maths week we designed our own Mondrian art. We used black sharpie and bright colours. They look cool. Room 17

Maths roadshow came to town


We had to build blocks and follow instructions to make shapes against a mirror, SW, JT and CS


We had monkeys and we had to count all the flashes from a switch as the monkeys raced against each other down the board, FS

We had to drop blocks into holes to work out the temperature of different cities and answer questions. Peace out, SW, JT and CS

There was a code that we followed to pull levers out and it showed parts of pictures. You followed the instructions and when they were in the right order they spelt out a name
, the boys name was Tim and the girl was Joy. JD and LT

Maths roadshow came to town


Graham made all of the maths games for us to play with.
JE had to find out how many things he could fit on the back of the truck before it was overloaded.


We had to move the board to get the cow through the gates, it took us 12 gates. AR


MdK says it was tricky to get the blocks in the right place.



You had to find two trails to get the rabbit home SB



We were playing a treasure hunt, we had to move a block to see how many spaces we needed to get to the treasure, TD
