Our Dads are SuperHeros: Construction

It was such a wonderful time having some of our Dads and Uncles in to help us build three Marble runs out of wood. We were learning how to co-operate with each other and make a marble track that worked! Our Dads help us tremendously with the plan, sawing, nailing, constructing, testing retesting, and reflecting. Such a great way to revise our understanding of the design process we learned about last term. Dads /Uncles, you really are our Superheros!

T3 Week 1 Soccer session and beginning measurement; length

Welcome back to Term 3. 
During week one we enjoyed a soccer session, playing a game and doing some skill exercises.
Maths this term will be filled with measurement. We started with understanding length. Five different stations asked us to complete some length activities. Could we be tall as possible, could we grow wiggly worms, how far away are our vehicles from different buildings build in our town.
