It has been another busy week in 5c! We have been working hard in all areas of the curriculum to develop our skills. This week our blog is focused on STEM.
Robyn, April and Emily overcame a design challenge to create a Teepee out of natural materials. At first, they used sticks and grass to tie it together then decided it needed to be stronger so, using their knowledge of properties of materials, they substituted grass for string.
Daniel used a range of materials to create a Zip Flyer in our classroom STEM cupboard. He chose materials that could be joined together such as pipe cleaners and lollipop sticks. Daniel chose to join the lollipop sticks with sellotape and, joined the pipe cleaners to the lollipop sticks with paper clip. A great invention Daniel!
Rhys and Ali used our class camera to photograph 3D shapes around our outdoor classroom. They found hemispheres, cylinders and cuboids. Have a look!
We could not forget how Patrick wowed us with his accordion playing!
