Holywood Hullabaloo

On Wednesday we did a technology  challenge p7 built  a tower and p6 built a dome p5 built jelly domes .

We built jelly domes then we tested them with the dictionary it at least 1 held 4 dictionaries. It was good p7 team built the highest tower at 1m.50cm in half of hour I was pleased.

p4 built bridges and a train had to go over it they said it was very exciting they worked very hard on it apparently while p6 were trying there bests to impress the teacher p7 were doing well. P7 were rolling up some nice paper spills Braiden and john were the best at rolling paper spills it was very hard we used knitting needles to wrap the paper up to make them tight you have to get the gist Guys.

Today with misses O’Neill we made domes and towers the p7s made a tower at 1.50 meters tall they did very well they had an hour to do it.

The dome group used gumdrops and cocktail sticks to join the sweets together to form a mini dome they also did very well and they used their communication and teamwork skills to build them!

The tower group made a very strong tower it was like the leaning tower of Pisa they were going for the buri kalifa it did not go quiet to plan! but we had great fun also in writing we wrote instructions  for making them

 

On Tuesday we did a friction investigation. We watched a video about friction and about air resistance. So they sent  me down the hill on a dolly trolley and we made parts to slow me down or speed me up. We took turns to put a part on me but when I was going down the hill I fell off backwards. Miss Dale had a plastic bag and put it on the helmet but I did not come flying off the dolly trolley that time. It was fun learning this – Kye and his partner Hamish managed to speed me up the most!!

On we Tuesday I was supposed make Dylan slow down but failed it was for are topic  and made him go faster. And we all most killed him. Because he went down the hill and flew down the hill hade and all most snapped his neck. But he was warring a helmet so he is ok he did not die it’s a good thing I was not on it. so I balm  miss dale for making almost killing Dylan .
