I play with All Star Junior Netballers and am learning to play in centre and goal shooter positions.  I got this certificate for taking part I the competition. It was very exhausting but lots of fun.

Wow that does sound like it would be exhausting Anna but well done you for such hard work.

Creative K’NEX

dscn0020

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Primary 4 have been learning about farming machinery within their learning context this term.

We were set a challenge to build a tractor using K’nex.

We used a mixture of big K’nex and mini K’nex to make farming vehicles including tractors.

We were put in partners to work together.

dscn0010

We all made a different type of tractor.

 

We had a design brief which gave us the criteria of the tractor. This included having to have a movable door on the tractor.

 

To start the challenge we drew a diagram in our jotters of the machine to help when we were creating our models.

We had to work together as a team in order to meet our success criteria.

We had to stick to the size set out in the design brief, this was challenging.

 

“I liked getting partnered with people we don’t normally work with” Heather.

‘It was fun when we got to see other peoples machines’ James.

‘I like seeing if people had seeders, sprayers or a plough’ Anna McK.

‘It was fun making tractors with K’nex and its a really good thing to do as most people don’t get to do it and to work with other people’ Scott.

‘It was fun because iv never done something like this in school before’.  Nico.
