.....will they be able to hold onto their lead for Day 5??????  Watch this space!

Survivor Brain Challenge Day 3

Our brain challenge was based around building a Lego bike and man in the fastest time possible.  Only one team member could complete the challenge by following the construction booklet and making sure there were no spare pieces at the end.

Survivor Day 1 Continues......

We participated in the Physical Challenge which involved each team eating 9 Fruit Bursts and then using the wrappers to make the longest thread.

Facial Expressions

Our very last Art piece for term three focussed on facial expressions.  We studied cartoon-like expressions from the internet and then replicated them on four figures.  We were able to choose to colour with pastel or paint or a combination of the two.

Olympics: Cinnamon Challenge

Following on with the 'food' theme, Jamaica organised a Cinnamon Challenge where each team had to eat a teaspoon of cinnamon before sprinting to the end of the field.  Not the easiest challenge to complete but definitely one of the most entertaining!

Our medalists were....

Gold Medal: Great Britain

Silver Medal: France

Bronze Medal: Italy

Olympics: Chocolate Challenge

Our third day of Olympics saw us taking part in a Chocolate Challenge.  We had to eat a set amount of chocolate with our hands behind our back in the fastest time.

Our winners were....

Gold Medal: Great Britain

Silver Medal: Australia

Bronze Medal: Singapore

Skate Boards

Another art piece we have been working on for a while are our skate boards.  

First we had to cut out a skate board shape from card.  After applying two layers of papier mache to it we then coated the skate board in white paint.  Once it had dried we drew our design on and then painted, collaged or dyed our designs.  

We had to have our initials and date of birth on our skate board but the rest of the design process was entirely up to us.  we have used images, symbols, words and colours that mean something to us.

Once we had completed them, Mrs Young attached some velcro dots to the back so that they can stick to our walls.  Very clever!

Here are the first of our completed skate boards.
