imovie trailers

Students had great fun one afternoon when they had made imovie trailers. They had to choose a theme, then work together to take videos or photos to put into imovie. Students had to make sure that they listened to ideas, shared the tasks and included others. We think they look fantastic.

Snapshot of challenges

Here is a bit of a snapshot of some of the challenges we've done over the last term and a half. Some were easier than others. Lots were fun. Students had to communicate their ideas with others, have an idea and give it a go, trial what they had made, and make modification. Sometimes all groups succeed, other times only some of the groups succeed. But students learnt plenty even when theirs didn't work. 

Build a raft out of straws and string to float 'people' for 20 seconds.

Create a free standing marble run that makes the marble go at least 3 meters from start to finish and hits the bottle. 

Create a stretcher out of newspaper, string and 10 meters of tape. Carry a 'patient' through a obstacle course with one person blindfolded.
