We have started the next part of our topic for this term. We are going to be looking at 'making it work' and our theme is 3D art. We had to decide what we thought art was. We sorted pictures into columns; art and not art and then talked about our decisions. Some of us changed our minds after we discussed our initial decisions. We then came up with our own definitions of what art is. Our first challenge was to use a bag or marshmallows and some spaghetti sticks to build the highest tower. The tower had to be able to stand on its own. We had fifteen minutes to complete the challenge. Next Time: - Use a stronger base - Not eat marshmallows - Use better technique, think more about stability - Research stability - Look at other towers - Not have a time limit - Use better materials - Plan better This term our connected learning topic is "Make it Work!". Today our class split into groups and completed a series of mini challenges where we had to work together as a group to make things work.
