Teamwork!

Room 18 were set a challenge that involved spaghetti, marshmallows and teamwork!

Each Kagan group were given dry spaghetti noodles and a bowl of marshmallows and the challenge was to make a tower. 

The group who had the highest tower at the end of 15 minutes would receive 1000 house points each!

 





After 15 minutes Kagan group 1 was the winner. Well done Carlos, Brianna, Maddy and Damian.

We discussed what the point of the challenge was. Room 18 said that it was about 'working together'. We talked about what was difficult during the activity and everyone agreed that it was frustrating when the spaghetti broke and it was hard to make the towers stand up.

We discussed what we had to do to work together. We had to share, ask each other for ideas, listen to each other, be patient, agree, take on others ideas, be co-operative, focus, show others, consider other peoples ideas.

Room 18 had lots of fun! 

Written Language

In Written Language we are learning to describe a moment in time.

Room 18 all agree that it is a very difficult style of writing as it requires us to write in the present tense.
We are learning by looking at a photo of a scene and using our imagination to write to describe what we see.

Here is Holly's description of a moment in time of a boy playing in the rain.

It’s Sunday and I’m taking a walk in the park when out of the corner of my eye, I see a young boy in mid air ready to hit the ground. As I look closer, I see that he’s right above quite a large puddle! He hits the ground and it looks like there has been a water explosion! It stuns me and without noticing, a fat raindrop lands in my eye. It takes five minutes to regain my full sight. During that time, I manage to smell wet tar lurking around the air. I can now see clearly and I spot the boy’s raincoat it’s covered in mud! The mud on the jacket looks like a child’s finger painting and has transformed the jacket from bright yellow to a rather dull brown. I turn around to talk to my friend and hear the boy yelling with excitement and then I see him running up to his father once I turn back. As I start walking home, I think back to when the boy was above the puddle and think to myself, wouldn’t that be fun to do.

Well done Holly!

Weekend News by Carlos

In the weekend I went to Kelly Tarltons with my cub group.
Instead of writing in my language book I thought that I would do a pic collage about my sleepover.
I hope you enjoy reading about my fun sleepover.
