Word Games

In Room 12 we have been working on our blends and ends so we can figure out those tricky words when we are reading. Here is a great site to use to practice these at home:

Technology Challenge




I need scissors! Just a bit more of that tape....perfect!
For Golden Time today we took on a technology challenge. Our brief was to design a slingshot that could shoot a crayon at least 3 metres, sounds simple but all we had to work with was newspaper, sellotape, 1m of string and some popsicle sticks! The challenge tested our team work and creative skills to the max (And also Miss Logans' nerves as crayons were flying around the room!) In the end it was the team that worked together the best that won.
