STEM challenge

The challenge...to use 30 sticks, 5 straws, a 10cmx10cm square piece of cardboard, 1m of string and half a metre of tape to build a 30cm talk tower that can hold 50g of weight.

Learners researched, planned, built and tested their designs.

Comic secrets

Earlier this week we found out that Michel Mulipola was the partner Marleen, a Teacher Aide at our school. We had read about him and his comics during a guided reading lesson earlier in the week.

When we asked Marleen about this while in the library she arranged a little surprise...we got to meet Michel and listen to him tell us about how he makes comics.

Thanks Marleen!

Maths and music

We have been exploring the pulse in music.

We began by listening to Macy Gray's "All the Beauty in the World". We identified the layers int he music and discovered the beat - the pulse int he music.

We have been developing our own 4 beat clap patterns and have begun to notate this. 

Exciting writing
