bp challenge

For hot learning, our class had a huge brainstorm for what we would do for our inquiry.We all gave the teacher our ideas and mrs phillips took all the ideas that we could have and we voted for the ones that we wanted,in the end, mrs phillips split all of us into the groups that we wanted to be in.There were many things to choose from, including photography,wonders of the world and much more.Alex, Morgan, Sophie, Adana and I chose to be in the bp challenge group.This includes doing many bp challenges an also researching about flight.We are working on a bp challenge at the moment
that will allow us to compete with other schools. this is what we have to do. Our task is to design an aeroplane from any materials we like but there is a catch!
it must use a propeller and wheels that the teacher has provided and it it must use a/some rubber bands to power the propeller.

The things we are going to use are:

Balsa wood
some rubber bands
the wheels
the propeller
some polystyrene
toothpicks
and maybe even a parachute!!

This is going to be an awesome experience.

New Television

Over the last month or two, the school purchased brand-new televisions for all the classrooms. Now that we have the tv's we use it for maths, slideshows, reading the news and lots more, i love this brand new resource it helps us heaps.

Writing

We have been learning to create a good piece of persuasive writing.We need to persuade the reader to come to our Japanese cultural exchange and join in with the things they will be doing with us. It will be really cool because we will be having Japanese food, see Japanese clothing and so much more. Here are a couple of letters.
