We have been developing our engineering skills this week by designing, building and testing our own lighthouse models.
We have been using estimation, measure, problem solving, team work, and identifying good materials. It took a lot of persevering. We tested the lighthouses against the rain (watering can), wind (cardboard), waves (tray of water) You can see the results in our videos. The most successful lighthouses had good foundations either rocks, sand or water.
We spent almost all of Thursday outdoors for outdoorlearning day! We explored directions, angles and wrote stories too! We finished off the day with a game of tennis.
Another highlight of our week was meeting our new P1s! We loved showing them around and introducing ourselves.
