In room 9 we are doing technology challenges on thursdays . We are given a task to build

something for example we could be building a bridge that has to hold a 500gm weight. Or we could be building the tallest ANZAC poppy. On one occassion we had to design and construct a bird feeder. The feeder had to include a platform for the birds to land on and have containers in or on it that were able to hold water and bird food. We only had a sheet of plastic to do this with!

We have been given a time limit which is sometimes quite difficult to stick to. We are given points for the construction of our 'item'. The use of materials. Meeting criteria and for group work.

The tasks have been loads of fun.

People from our class will be selected to go to the regional Technology Challenge later in September.
