Welcome back!

Our first day back from winter break has been great so far as we have had a chance to reconnect and share our holiday experiences. This morning we made maps of our holiday journeys and then shared them with one another while enjoying blueberry scones.


Take a moment to enjoy our ThinkLink creations. Hover over the red 'play' buttons to hear us tell about our journeys:


We later spent some time constructing while revisiting measurement. We were asked to work in pairs to try and build the tallest free-standing tower. We then used cubes as our measurement tool and saw that Anastasia and Jude built the tallest tower - 26 cubes. It was then decided that we should look at which tower was built with the most amount of Lego pieces, and surprisingly the shortest tower (built by Storm and Nathan) had the most pieces with a total of 145! We realized that width and height are very different!

 

We look forward to getting back into the swing of things this week. I hope you all had a lovely holiday!
