Mangonels

When Sally told us we will be making  Mangonels I felt nervous . First I got some wood and a hot glue gun and somehow built a catapult with Ben, Jasper, and I. When we tried to fire them I was surprised how far they got. Mine went 9 meters. Here is a video of it firing.

A&Pshow

On the 21 of November  it was the A&P show. This year I did it . First I got an aubergine and carrot.  Next  I got some toothpicks and connected the carrot feet to the aubergine body and some more toothpicks to hold the olive eys .You have a pengwin..


On the same day I decorated cookie . It was a boys face. It had licorice hair and a licorice mouth and
it had a smarties nose and it had jelly bean ears and silver balls for eyes

This is my fruit and vegetable novelty

Dear board of trustees

I strongly believe we should have BRING YOUR OWN DEVICE [BYOD]. BYOD is when we bring a device to help you learn.

I think you can have a lot of learning games. You can download fun but learning games. For example the slide Maths game on the IPADs.

Some people have bad eyes and on devices can make things bigger.

You can go on the internet and find things out. In class it this could be helpful. If everyone had device we can do more research. At the moment we have 7 devices.

Devices cost a lot of money. So if the children bring them in the school wouldn’t have to pay for them. If the school was to buy an IPAD for each child it would cost over $200,000.

I think that we should have BYOD at NCS . It will cost to much for the school to buy devices for everyone and it will be helpful in the future.

Kind Regards
