Building a boat/raft

On Friday last week in Room 4 we did a challenge. We did it in groups of 4. I was with Kiarah, Lee and Jermaine. 

The challenge was to build a boat or raft using tape, straws and most importantly teamwork. We worked together giving each other different roles. Kiarah gave the idea to build the boat flat with walls so the animal doesn't fall, and Jermaine helped cutting the tape, while lee help cut the straws. I had the job of putting it all together, by the time we were done the boat/raft looked like this:

The legend of the golden snail

Yesterday me and my group - Nina and Aye - completed this work sheet. 

We first had to read though the text which was 'The legend of the golden snail'. After reading though it we skim and scanned though the text looking for a few of the settings it took place in, who the characters were, and described a few traits the charters had, ticking off the boxes on the list.

We all did something to contribute and complete the task. 

If you would like a more accurate explanation of what we did, I'd suggest looking on Nina, or Aye's blog, it'd be nice if you left them a positive comment as well.

Witchcraft and Theories

Ever since we've been back in school and in room 4. We have been working on a inquiry task of our choosing. I worked with Zaeeda on this task and at the end we researched witches, mostly the Salem witch trials. When we finished we presented it to the class and had a pretty entertaining discussion about it. Along with that me and Zaeeda dressed up with a witch hat to show to give attribution to people killed in the salem witch trials because it was a massacre of innocent people.
