A SPECIAL GIFT

Over the last few weeks we have been busy designing gifts to give to the special people in our lives.  On Friday we started making our gifts.  Here are a few photos taken by Petra, of us busy making our gifts

THE CLEAN UP MACHINE CHALLENGE!

Today the girls had a great challenge for us.  

They had noticed that our room is always messy so they thought we could come up with an idea for a machine to clean it up.

We are the right people for the job!

Solving problems is what we do!

THE CLEAN - UP MACHINE CHALLENGE!

THE GREAT MARBLE RUN CHALLENGE!

Today a few children came up with a challenge for us...

We had great fun creating our marble runs and solving all the different problems we came up with.

We were able to create some amazing marble runs.  We learnt all about angles and used our measurement skills to make sure our marbles fit!

TODAY'S TECH THURSDAY CHALLENGE!

THE GIRAFFES 2 TECH CHALLENGE!

Today the Giraffes 2 Reading group, asked if they could come up with the challenge for Tech Thursday. 

After reading a journal article about making shoes, the kids decided that that would be a great idea for Tech Thursday!

Zak, Katie, Aaron, Lucy, Dylan, Kalas and Riley H made the slideshow and came up with the success criteria.

They even introduced the Challenge to the class today...

First we had to brainstorm...

We came up with some amazing ideas...

Sophie M and Alexa made some pretty improvements to Mrs Lunn's shoes...

Savannah S made shoes that transform from Summer shoes to Winter shoes!

Samantha and Petra's shoes come complete with spy glasses!

Mrs Peck came to try on a few shoes.  Here she is trying on Igor's flipper shoes.  They'll be perfect when it rains when she is on Road Patrol Duty!

We had to Refelct on our shoes.  

What a great Tech Thursday... Thanks Giraffes 2!
