For homework, Primary 4 designed and constructed an eco junk model kart for Mario Kart. Here are some examples:

New Characters for Mario Kart
Primary 4 created new characters for Mario kart. We then developed the basic description after studying how we could use a metaphor or simile to enhance our writing.
My character is called Catwoman Zip Zap, her age is 19, she comes from Zip Zap Land, she is as spotted as a cheetah, she is as fast as a cheetah. She is as strong as a Blue Whale! Her personality is crazy, her tool or power is that she runs away really quickly. Her favourite food is cheese. Her favourite driver is Bowser! By Laura
My character is called Leprechaun she has got blue hair as blue as the sea. Her car is as spotty as a dalmation. Her dress is pink as a peach. By Erin
My character is called Evil piggy. He is angry as a volcano. He is blue as the sky. He is red as blood. He is yellow as a lemon. He is black as a bat. He’s got 3 eyes and is an alien. His ears are big as a bear. He is smart as a professor. His mind is full of games. He is fast as a lamborghini! By Harris
Mario Kart Race Timers
Primary 4 used mario kart to investigate time and averages. A group timed another group racing a 3 lap race and then calculated the average lap time. This did prove tricky for some, as we had to convert minutes and seconds to seconds first. We recorded the information, and it looked a bit like this:
Driver: Jack
Character: Mario
Kart: Mario standard kart
Track: Toad’s Factory
Total time: 3 min`s 9 sec’s
Time taken for 3 laps: 189 sec’s
Average lap time: 63 seconds
Coordinates in Mario Kart
Primary 4 have created our own Mario Kart racing tracks on A3 paper. We then added coordinates to these sheets and used them to develop our understanding of grid references. We also completed a brief outline description about our tracks.
Fantastic Formula 1 Facts
We found out lots of interesting information about formula 1 for our homework.
Mario Characters
We are beginning to investigate the use of figurative and rich language for descriptions. We started with a simple presentation about our favourite character.
Mario Wow Words
We collected together wow words to describe how it would feel to win a great race:
We also collected ‘wow’ words that we would use to describe a crash scene:
Trip to the Grand Prix!
Our budding racing drivers thought they’d like to have a look at a Grand Prix, to perhaps gain some useful tips. So, the class planned a wee jolly to Abu Dhabi to watch the race, this weekend. Pupils were tasked with pricing flights and a hotel for 2 or 3 nights. They had to ensure they chose flights that allowed them to see the Grand Prix on the Sunday. No budget was given for this task, as the last minute nature of the task meant that well priced flights were not available. It also proved tricky to find a hotel in Abu Dhabi, obviously this is a busy weekend over there!
