Ben and Charlotte's Hen house

Ben and Charlotte have been making a hen house today.  They built these sides from pieces of wood.  They are going to get more wood to build another side and a roof.  They want to hinge a side so it opens easily for the hens to go in and out of.

We look forward to seeing it complete.

 

We used thin pine wood, little red nails, and silver nails, a hammer and a saw.  When we were making the sides Charlotte cut her finger with one of the red nails.

Sam's wheelchair

In reading we have been learning how to use Groupboard, an app on our tablets.
This time we used it for sharing our ideas aboout a boy called Sam who has brittle bone disease. Our groupboard is some of the things he might like on his wheelchair. Sam was also an inventor, the wheelchairs the hospital gave him didn't work as well as he wanted so he made one that could do mostly anything.

Treasure Hunting at Pirate's Stream

This term in maths we are learning about direction and position. This week we had to complete a treasure hunt, following the compass directions to find the buried treasure. We had to collect stamps, gold dubloons and other things along the way!
Can you guess where we found the treasure?

 Here is the map of Pirate's Stream that we had to follow:

What do you think was in the treasure chest?!

Deconstruction with Ben and Lance

Here is Ben and Lance fully engaged in one of our Discovery Learning activites, deconstruction.  Oh, I forgot to tell them they need to reconstruct the sewing machine once they have deconstructed!
