Dance sharing!

We performed our dances in front of the school. We have been working hard on these dances for the last 5 weeks. Our first dance was "Blame it on the Boogie" by Jackson Five and our second was "The Jiffy Mixer", a traditional folk dance. It was great fun and we really enjoyed sharing them with the school!

 

Inventions sharing!

We shared our inventions with the rest of the school. It was great to share what we had done and to see what others had made too!

 

 

Inventions- The winning games!

Twister- played with cards.

Feed the Pig-see how many paper balls you can get into her tummy.

Feed the Mook’s- get a certain amount of points depending on which hole you get the ball through.

Snail Race- swirl round the board to finish in the middle.

Ladders- race each other to the end of the ladder.

 

We have started training for cross country. This will be held early next term!

HOTDOGS!

INVENTIONS!

We have been working through our design book. As you saw in our previous post, we had planned our first ideas. We have now written a list of instructions on how to play our game and gathered the materials needed.

 

 

It was a lot of fun making our practice games but it was hard work!

Once we had finished our games we played it with a buddy. We had to discuss with them what we liked about their game, what we didn’t like about their game and something they could do to improve it.

 

We are now in the modifying stage of our design process. We are making changes and reflecting on what we are doing all the time so our final game is fantastic!

Alliteration

We have been learning about Alliteration, the repetition of the same initial letter or sound in a series of words. This has helped make our writing more interesting!

 

We worked with a buddy to think up a silly sentence with each other’s name.

Recently our Student Council decided to donate $100 to the Palmerston North Rescue Helicopter! As you can see they really appreciated our support!

INVENTIONS

We have started! We are on our way to inventing or adapting our own games! All great inventors start with a plan. Check out our initial thoughts and ideas! We are then going to gather, make, modify and evaluate our inventions. Stay tuned to see our progress…
