- 5 points for a top hat

- 5 points for a boater

- 5 points for a bonnet

- 1 point for any other design

The teams with the most points won the medals for this challenge.  Here are the results:

Simpson’s Screamers – 23 points (GOLD)

Daly’s Delights – 23 points (GOLD)

Tancock’s Triumphs – 21 points (BRONZE)

Ainsley’s Achievers – 13 points

Miss Leaman was really pleased with our team work during this lesson, we have got so much better at communicating with each other.

Then investigate whether you can make your aeroplane fly any better by attaching paperclips at various places.

 

 

On Thursday a very special visitor burst into our classroom in the middle of our maths lesson.  Major Stare came in and issued us with a lot of orders about standing to attention and standing at ease, he was very mean!  He said that he was going to set us a series of ‘top secret’ challenges linked to science forces.  If we pass these challenges and some final assessments then will we get to ‘pass out’ into the Watcombe Forces.  We are looking forward to finding out more about the challenges but hope that Major Stare doesn’t keep bursting in!!!

Today Miss Leaman set us the challenge of making some clothes out of newspaper.  We are trying to develop our team work skills and to build our class community.  Here are the pictures:
