Room 4 enjoyed a variety of activities during Active Schools Week. These activities included football, soccer, traditional games,  obstacle courses, basketball, Drumfit and Olympic Handball. Thanks to all involved for a great week!

Room 4 have been working on some STEM challenges this month.

For challenge 1, the children worked in groups to plan, draw and build a class Lego Land. Their Lego house had to meet the following criteria

• it must be the size of an A4 piece of paper.
• it must have bedrooms, a kitchen, a bathroom and a living room.
• it must be as tall as a glue stick.

For challenge 2, the children worked in groups to design and create a model of a rope bridge that hangs between two cliffs.

The criteria for this challenges was that the bridge

• must hang between two desks that are ten lollipop sticks apart.
• must be able to hold the weight of five toy animals.
• must be made using only lollipop sticks and strings.

We had great fun trying out lots of different designs and testing what worked best.
