Year 3 – Room 17 Ms Gill & Mrs Matthews 

Team work Tuesday this week was another building challenge. Their task was to work together to build the tallest freestanding tower that could support a tennis ball and stand upright long enough to be measured. They had only newspaper, a roll of masking tape and scissors. Students had 30 minutes.

Groups worked quickly to start building a sturdy base and discovered rolling up newspaper helped to make the strongest structure. In the end our two tallest towers that were able to support a tennis ball  in the time given were 100 and 102cm.

Well done everyone ☺

  

We are going to be making our sweets NEXT MONDAY – 10th between Recess and Lunch (11:15 to 1:00). We would love some parent helpers to come and assist us. ( thankyou to those who have said they are available on this day. I hope the this time is ok) It could be for the whole time or just part. We also have the option of doing more on the Tuesday if we need more time or more products. Most of the sweets can be made in the classroom/foyer but we will need some helpers in the staff room.

Thank you to those who have also donated some food and chocolate moulds. So far we have a tin of milo, bag of marshmallows, packet of Tim Tams, popping candy and a block of chocolate. We are still in need of more. So if you are able to donate anything this week that would be greatly appreciated. Then i can see what we have and can purchase anything extra we need on the weekend.

We are also looking for:
*containers with lids to store our sweets in the fridge
*trays to put our sweets on when selling them
If you are able to supply either of these items please ensure names are on them. These items can also be brought to school this week.

Thank you for all your help
