In topic this week we were put into cooperative learning groups called ‘Island families’. In our families we used the Ipads to research and find out about traditional Scottish surnames. We then decided on a family surname and in our families used different technology to research and find information about the Isle of Coll. We used different websites to help us find information and explored the island through google maps and images.

On Friday in our family groups we were set a STEM challenge to set up a cup pyramid using string and elastic bands but we were not allowed to directly touch it with our hands. We spoke about the process of construction and that the first solution may not always work so it is important to go back and reflect on what could have been improved. We are going to be working on our challenge on Friday.
