Week 1 Term 3
Catapults!
It has been a fun and
productive first week back at school and we have been impressed with the hard
work and enthusiasm we have seen.
At Investigation Time we
had a focus on catapults. This led to discussions about what they are, why they
are used and when they have been used in history. The class particularly loved
the idea of trying to knock down castles! So we designed and made some catapults
and also a castle that we could destroy.
Some children made targets
and did some measuring to see how far we could catapult an object.
We also made a large
catapult outside that involved a lot of problem solving, teamwork and
discussion.
Wow what a fun and exciting Investigation you have had Room 16. It was great to see you all so actively involved in your learning this week. It is great being back at school with you all.
