World of Wearable Arts

Today we watched Youtube clips of the WOW show in preparation for creating our own wearable art pieces.

We were allowed a full newspaper, 4 sheets of A4 coloured paper, 3 metres of tape, 3 metres of string and 6 straws.

After researching options for an hour, we then had 45 minutes to create our masterpieces before parading them in front of Room 1, our Junior class.  Mr Orr and Mrs Maclean were our judges for the event.

The criteria we were judged on was:
1: The outfit lasting the length of the runway show and judging time.
2: Creativity.
3: The model remaining in character for the entire runway show.
4: The name matching the art piece.

Brain Challenge: Survivor Day 4

This has probably been the hardest of the Brain Challenges so far!

Teams had to read a poem and then use coordinates to identify letters on a map.  Once they had found all of the letters they had to rearrange them to create two words - these words would help them find the treasure on the map!

Survivor Winners Day 2

Our winners for Day 2 were 'Lost'.  Their team is made up of Alex, Amy and Hannah.  They earned 74 points out of a possible 78.

 Our overall winners for the game so far are still 'Crash & Burn' with an impressive score of 156 out of 176.  They are 7 points ahead of the two teams in 2nd place (Lost, BG).

'Crash & Burn' are made up of Kate, Maegan and Danielle.

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 Physical Challenge Day 3

Our third physical challenge had us sitting on imaginary chairs outside.  In teams of two we had to lean against the classroom wall and keep our legs at a 90 degree angle to imitate sitting on a chair.  Teams were disqualified for not following the instructions or receiving 3 warnings.  Team members had to encourage each other because if one member dropped out the other team member had to forfeit as well. By the end of the challenge there were only two teams that earned points - a tough and painful challenge!

Survivor Physical Challenge Day 2

The physical challenge involved one member from each team holding onto a mesh fence using only hands and feet for the longest time.  The first player dropped out after only 56 seconds but the winning player lasted over 22 minutes!!!

The winner of the challenge was Kaleb!

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.
