Usually at this time of year there is a K-Nex challenge for Primary 6 to coincide with our STEAM week and the winners of the challenge go forward to cluster and regional events. However with this being cancelled we decided to do it anyway in house!

– The show must go on!!   For now anyway!! 🙂

What amazing cheerful children at school today – resilient and eager to be with friends and have a fun challenge.

The Challenge was – To create an aircraft of their own – could have been imaginative or just what we would see in our skies – helicopter, plane etc.

An exciting challenge of creating a flying machine.

Here are some comments from the children…and of course some fab pictures!

We made a helicopter but from a different universe with great imagination! It was called the PPAS Peppa Pig Airline Service 🙂

We did very well as working as  a team and at the end we won a  prize for excellent team work. (Tom and Rowan)

I enjoyed working with my friends from the other class, that was fun! We built a plane called the Special Plane 2000 (SP200) It is like a flying carriage and it was quite hard to make the base but we got there in the end! We came joint first for great teamwork and got a chocolate! Everyone of our team chose a Wispa but Tabitha chose a Crunchie!

THE K-nex challenge was challenging today however our team won!! It was really fun and entertaining and we found it fun to work together.  Ours was a helicopter called the Awesomecopter and it had 6 moving parts with a cockpit and steering wheel. We were quite shocked and didn’t realise there was a competition and we were surprised when we found out that we had won. None of us expected it. (Ruaridh and Abhijay)

 

Here are some more examples of of the amazing creations and teamwork!
