Our Passions By Ashley & Zahra

Writing Class Challenge, Robotic Arm Challenge.

Robotic Arm Challenge

By Ashley

Did you successfully complete the challenge? Describe how it went

I thought that the challenge went well because…we had more than one idea if one plan did not work we would do another one.

What are the rules, equipment and tools that you used for this challenge? If someone else read this would they understand how to play?

A meter ruler was used to measure the distance that we needed put the coke bottle

You must raise the coke bottle up 15cm high before placing it down.  You have 15 pages of newspaper, 1 meter of tape, and 1 meter of string. You also had scissors but only used to cut things, and you weren't allowed to add it to your design.

What are 2 more aspects of your design that you think worked well?

• The paper structure we made was very strong and did not break while we were lifting the bottle.
• We could manage to lift the bottle 15 cm of the ground.
• We lifted the bottle more that 80 cm in front of us.

What are 2 more aspects of your design that you think that did not work well or as intended?

• The lasso of string was hard to pull tight around the bottle and we had to redo it twice.
• Our team could not manage to lift the bottle past the 1 meter ruler.
• The bottle was really heavy therefore it was very hard to move it without tipping over.

The name “Robotic Arm Challenge” is a good name for this challenge, can you think of 2 more names that you could give this challenge?

• Levitating coke magic
• Magic Coke Bottle
• Flying bottle

Room 11 and 12 are thinking of doing the same challenge, can you think of any tips and tricks that you could give them that would help them do the challenge better?

• I would think of a different way of holding up the bottle instead of string because the string struggled to hold the Coke bottles weight.

• Make the design so two people can hold the string on each side of the meter ruler.

• Make sure the strongest people in the team hold up the bottle when you are trying to get the bottle over.

You had only 5 pieces of equipment to use for this challenge, these were:

- Coke Bottle

- News Paper

- Tape

- String

If you did this challenge tomorrow what equipment or rules would you allow, switch out or take away?

- I would add in different shaped bottles some with wider lids than others so that we could pick them up in different ways.

- I would add more string.

Room 10- Class Technology Challenge

Yesterday we had a challenge to build the tallest tower, made out of marshmallows and spaghetti. We had a team of four, I was with Paige, Gio, Ocean and me. We ending up coming 3rd which was pretty good. Overall it was so really fun.

Use your creativity to come up with 3 alternative names for this very exciting game!
Awesome Foursome	4 Quarters	WW3

Imagine another class here at HNI has not played this game before. Complete the rules below to clearly describe the aim of the game and exactly what the rules are.

Aim of the game:

Rules:

1. You must sit down on you bottom if you go on your knees you must sit out

2. The aim of the game is to get all the balls in one quarter

3. You can’t  aim the ball at a person’s face

4. You get a point if all the balls go in your quarter but the team with the least amount of points win

5. Make sure you are always looking around

Game Adaptations

Use your creative thinking to explore possible adaptations to this game to enhance both the fun factor and the ability to win the game. I have given you one example for each category but challenge yourself with other ideas and thinking.

Attack	Defence	Game Plan/Strategy
Use balls other than netballs that aren’t as heavy so the speed of the travelling ball also speeds up the game. Dodge balls instead of netballs	4 players from each quad are allowed to sit on the bleaches to stretch with their arms and intercept flying balls. One person on each team can play on their knees	People on the perimeter of the quad pass the ball to someone closer to the bleaches to allow them to throw it further into the opponent's area. More confident people at the front and least confident at the back

Maths Week 1 Term 2

This is my maths that I did in term 1 and a bit of term 2. We were learning to measure length with Mr Harman. It was very fun and we learnt a lot about measurement thanks Mr Harman and Miss O'B!
