Water game challenge

There may be a drought, so we have tried our best to conserve water.  Our relay challenge was to use cups to pass water between our players. 


We also had a water
balance relay, trying to keep the cup upright and without spilling water on the back of our hands, from the start to the bucket on the finish line.

With the bad weather, we have even used our desks as barriers for bottle knock.  It took a while to get our eye in, but we started being able to throw the tennis balls with better accuracy to knock it over.

How big is a Cubit? - Old Style Measurement

In week 6 we continued looking into Measurement.  Long before the rulers that we have come to know with their mm, cm and m standard measurements came about, the Egyptians used their own standard measurements.
Cubits, Foot, Digit and Hand span lengths were used.  How did they standardise it?  They used the cubit, foot, digit and hand span of their Pharaoh.  Hopefully their Pharaoh didn't change too often.

We investigated the range of cubits, hand spans, feet and digits of our classmates.  Then we sorted them to find our most common length (mode), our median length, the range of lengths and the class averages for each of these measurements.

 

 

Level 2 Return to school

Shirley Serban, the Principal at Lake Brunner School (this school is on the lake front of Lake Brunner and has stunning views of the Southern Alps), has shared her video and song to help keep us safe as we return to school in Level 2.

A few good points we need to remember as we build our new Room 7 bubble.
