Week 7- Thom and Ella W

This week we started on some designs for a swinging chair structure. On Thursday we had a sing a long night on the field and it was awesome. In writing we have been finishing off our dinosaur report writing. You can check them out on our wall or on our writing blog. Chanel, Caroline and Hannah went to the cricket tournament on Tuesday and they came third overall. Rayan also went on Wednesday and they came 3rd. We have been working on our structure for the garden. We have decided on railway sleepers to use as the material. We had to work out how tall it had to be so we could fit underneath, how far apart each post was going to be and we tried to figure out the angle of the posts. We read a book about Resilience and we can talk about this at home with our parents. Today we created our own dinosaur by thinking of it's special features. Some of the examples were:
Prankosaurus
Glidadon
The Ratasaurus
Rooster Rex
Squirreladon
Spikasaurus
Platasaurus
