Song of the Sea Show. Introduction to the design process. Junior Disco


Show at Bruce Mason: Song of the Sea.
Learning about the design process; how to start if you want to design something, and what the steps are.
Some Learners "caught" doing their moves at the Junior Disco. Were you there?

Minions' Egg Protecter design and Egg drop challenge.


Minions got together in the hall to design
                                                 and create an egg protecter. 
The raw egg in its packaging (protection) was dropped from a height and checked to see if it was damaged. Three eggs survived and we discussed what was the same about the protection each had.
Ask a Minion and they will tell you the answer.

Wonder Women helped us identify 2D shapes outside

We celebrated the wonderful women in our lives by inviting them to our class to share our learning with us. With an i-pad and a buddy, our wonderful women took us outside to photo 2D shapes around the school. Then they returned to class and helped us describe the characteristics of the shapes we found with another group. We made a 2D picture out of five colourful shapes. We loved the time spent together. Let's do it again next year!
