The Cup Challenged re-visited.....

This was the first challenge we had to do and we failed!  
Our class reflection:
We worked as a team.  We had two leaders that helped we didn't know what to do.  The leaders drew a line on the carpet, so we knew where to stack the cups.  We talked to each other and worked out what to do.  We had to be honest and keep trying.  

40 minute movie Trailer Challenge...

Today the whole class went in to groups of four and we made a movie trailer.  Luke, Holly, Oliver and I were in one groups.   Most of the groups finished their movie trailer in 40 minutes.  They weren't being silly and we took turns doing the action. We did different camera shot.  We did it like the person was running in front of the camera.  We were doing action shots. 

  

40 minute Trailer Challenge....

I liked recording Jack, Leyam and Mackai.  We worked together because we didn't yell at each other.  t the start we talked about what we would do.  If we did something wrong we tried again.  I liked the shot with the ball in the hoop.  

Challenge Beach Ball and Legs

Aim: to move a beach ball around the outside walls of the hall by only using your legs.

Challenges: Paper Chain and Marshmallows

This week in the Whale Pool the children were faced with two challenges... Challenge one: TASK - Make the longest paper chain with an A2 piece of paper. Elizabeth gave us the paper and we chose who we wanted to work with. Reflection:   We talked to our buddy and worked out who would do what.  We worked this out by ourselves.  One buddy cut the paper and one glued the paper to make the chain.  Some of us swapped over our jobs after a certain amount of time had passed.  We worked together. The longest paper chain was around 6.5 metres long?  Why was this chain so long?

Challenge Two:

TASK: Each knife must touch only one marshmallow.  All knives must be off the table and touching each other.

What Ms K saw:  I saw groups of children making mistakes.  When I explained the knives couldn't touch the table or you couldn't pile knives onto one marshmallow you accepted this and thought of what else you could do.  I saw you all make lots of mistakes and you were talking to each other, like....what if we do this....I know....lets try.... Everyone accepted other people's ideas and I thought the atmosphere is class was positive.  I saw some faces that thought...oh my gosh we can't do this....then I saw other team members in the group continue to try different ways of placing the knives onto the marshmallows.

The Giant Zentangle Challenge...

Our First Challenge - The Cup Challenge...

We all worked in teams of four.  We picked up the cups with some string and rubber bands.  We had to stack them into a pyramid.  It was very annoying because people didn't work together.

We we did this challenge with the class no one listened.  I was very frustrated.  We couldn't do it.

Scooter, Run and Swim Triathlon Challenge...

Today all the children challenged themselves to take part in our first Scooter, Run and Swim triathlon.  The children had to be in groups of three with at least one girl in their team.  Each person had to either scooter, run or swim.

This is what we thought....

I like running around the obstacle course when my Mum and cousin came to watch me.  Nabraska

I enjoyed watching the swimming and going on the scooter, I liked going round and round.  Lily

The easiest part was the running.  Leyam

I enjoyed the scootering because it was great racing with other people from the Beach House. William and Riley L

Scootering was the easiest because I was the first person to tag Leyam for the running.  Rilee A
