Our break through week!

We had a whole week of break through learning! There was so much going on in our hub! We had art, magic, construction, dancing, singing, researching...and the list goes on! We loved sharing how we had used the learning process to help us with our break through projects.

Collaborating to invent a brand new game

We had such a lot of fun today, collaborating together to invent a brand new sports game.

This week for our concept "What makes a successful learner?" we had a challenge....

To collaborate to create a way of getting our toy animal across the DANGEROUS RIVER!!

We were given:

x10 sheets of paper / x1 piece of string / x1 yoghurt container / x2 straws / x8 rubber bands / x1 animal

We had only 20 minutes.  Here are some of the things we constructed...

Watch this space to see whose construction reached the other side of the river safely!

Celebrating St Patrick!

HAPPY ST PATRICK'S DAY!

Today we learned what St Patrick's Day is and why it is celebrated.

We also made shamrocks (four leaf clovers) and leprechaun hats to honour the Irish culture.
