Rube Goldberg machines

The senior groups have been learning about Rube Goldberg machines in class. We decided to have a go at making them in our English Class.

We used all sorts of materials and we had to make lots of moderation's to our machines.  Have a look below at some writing and photos.

Rube Goldberg Machine

On Thursday, l made a domino run with Andrew.

We used dominoes, cardboard tubes, wooden blocks, marbles and cars.

For me, the easy part was finding the part, designing the part and co-operation.

The hard part was picking up the dominoes, because it kept stopping and people kept bumping the tables.

I enjoyed it because it was fun and we used our head to think.

Next time, l will not put too many dominoes.

Rube Goldberg Machine.

I made domino,marble,block and bell machines.

I worked with Adrian w.

I used domino,cars,toys,bell and woodblocks.

The easy part was workings as a team because adrian was helpful.

The hard part was building that domino things because they kept falling down.

I enjoyed it because it was fun there was no rules it made us laugh.

Next time I want to make it with another partner.

Family Morning tea

Last Friday we held a morning tea for our parents.  We baked chocolate brownie for everyone to enjoy.  It tasted delicious!
After morning tea our parents played English board games with us - that we made ourselves.
It was lovely to see everyone.
Here are some photos of us making the chocolate brownie.

Speaking and Listening

We have started off the year with a big focus on Oral language, speaking and listening.
One of our favourite games we have been playing is called "Hedbanz".

One person chooses a card and puts it in their head band - without looking.

The they have to ask questions and try and work out what they are, and they only get one minute to figure it out!

Here is a photo of Suhyeok trying to work out what he is. Videos will be posted soon!

Welcome back!

Welcome back to our existing students and families and a welcome to our new families.

We are looking forward to a busy and productive year for our English language learners.

English classes will begin in week 3 of term 1.

Christmas Tree Art - Cubist Style

For some end of year fun we painted Christmas trees in the style of Cubism.
We used cool greens for our trees and warm colours for the background.
Have a look at the works in progress!
