We also have a video of our item at the concert. We filmed this on our new ipad and you will see, as you watch it, we were still working out how to use it! To see the video, please click here

Room 21's Cultural Activities

Recently Room 21 was fortunate to spend some time with the Japanese students from Ritsumeikan High School. They showed us four traditional Japanese activities.

1. We used origami paper to fold shapes like a star, a jumping frog and pikachu.
2. We played a traditional New Years game called Fuku Warai. 
3. We wrote our names using calligraphy pens and Japanese characters.
4. We watched a Japanese tea ceremony called Sa Dou and got to drink this green sweet tasting drink.

We really enjoyed all these activities. Check out the photos!

Learning with Lego

Over the past five weeks Room 19 have been learning about forces, structures and mechanisms.

 

Using Technic Lego kits we have been designing and building devices that can move heavy loads and span gaps. This has been a fun way to learn about science!

 

Have a look at some of our fantastic creations:
