Prep Market

If you don’t know what PrEP market is, prep market is when children from Rangikura school get into groups, then make and design products to sell at the PrEP market.  During the process you have a budget of money to spend to buy all of your materials, or you could get creative and just use recycled materials.  Once the process is done you will be able to sell it and make money that you give back to the school. Come along and join us at Rangikura School on Tuesday 13th  of December.  See you there!!

Olympic Artwork

Olympic Artwork 2016

This term Room 10 has been working hard on an olympic artwork with all sorts of different learning activities, such as my tessellation as my background,  olympic vocabulary as my border,  similes and metaphors in the speech and thought bubbles, and my head on my favourite athlete (Serena Williams).   First I will talk to you about my tessellation. If you don’t know what tessellation is, it means when two or more polygons make a repeating pattern with no gaps or overlapping.  The polygon that I used was a triangle that measured 3.8cm on each side so it could be a regular polygon and with my regular triangle I made a hexagon and a square out of it. Then we got on to our similes and metaphors.  Here is an example of a simile and a metaphor that I used: She was as powerful as lightning hitting the tennis ball.  Her world was her stage hitting the tennis ball. Can you figure out which is which? What one is a metaphor and which is a simile? Next I’m going to tell you about my fantastic vocabulary border.  Around my border is some olympic vocabulary like the three values which is Excellence, Friendship and Respect that all olympians demonstrate at the olympics. Now last but not least my olympion.  The olympian that I choose was Serena Williams and she is a master at tennis games.  She is my fav athlete because she is powerful when she hits the ball and she is a really fierce tennis player and that is why I chose her. Finally, this wonderful artwork is hanging over our heads in Room 10.

Hong Kong STEM Challenge

Our Materials:

Here are the materials we used: 6 x long sticks 1 x  wooden square 2 x pipe cleaners 2 x straws 1 x 1m ruler 11 x plastic cubes 1 x bunch of popsicle sticks 4 x wooden small flat pieces

Challenge #1 - Build a structure with a cube as the base:

Challenge 1 was really hard because we had to focus on balance which was really hard on trying not make it fall or else we would have to keep on making and it would waste a lot of our time but I really liked how it turned out in the end.

Challenge #2 - Build the tallest structure that you can and your base can be any size:

Challenge 2 was interesting because it really mattered on height and because it kept falling down we had to do a lot of talking, conviction and also took a lot of teamwork which would make it a lot easier for us to make it quite tall.  Then that’s where we thought about the straw connecting it to the pipe cleaner to make it even longer that what it was before.

Challenge #3 -  Build a structure with something that balances off the side of it:

Challenge 3 was really weird because we were being really safe of what we were doing when we made our first one then we had a conversation with Miss H about it sticking out the side so we loosened up and got creative and I’m really happy with our finished product.
