Year: 2022

On Monday, which was bright and sunny, it was Athletics Day at school. I loved it! We had activities like high jump, long jump, shotput and sprints. My favourite was probably the 200m sprints because I got 2nd place! But I also liked high jump and other activities. Something I want to practice is high jump because I didn’t do my best although I came 4th.

Here are my groups LEGO towers. We had to build a tower and then our teacher shook them on a board like an earthquake All of them fell. We had to rebuild them but make changes to improve them. They lasted longer than the second time.

This is my story about what happened

We constructed LEGO towers because we’ve been looking at Earthquakes. We were trying to design a tower that could survive an earthquake. 

The first design we made was not what we were hoping because we thought we needed to make the tallest. But we were surprised because we were actually trying to see if our tower could survive, which it couldn’t because it was too skinny and had no stability. The next time we knew what would happen and so we made it stronger. We made a stronger base and placed that on a platform, which created a stronger foundation. Luckily this time our tower survived the shaking of the tray!

                                         

We made Lego constructions and then made a google drawing to tell what happened once we built our Lego towers.

Here is my work. I like how I used contrasting colours and made the picture framed. Next time I could make the writing bigger and easier to see.

 

Last week we had a visit from some people from the Corban Estate Art Centre. They came to tell us how to create a 3D paper volcano art.

Here is my art.

I like how I made a little volcano next to the big one.

Next time I would think before I stick some things down with glue because sometimes there’s no reason for what I put down.
