CARDBOARD ARCADE GAMES FROM JENN AND BRODY!

Here are Jenn and Brody's cardboard arcade games!  We are looking forward to having our first arcade guests next week in the Learning Centre!  All of the students worked very hard to create their very own arcade game, using their mathematical skills of adding and subtracting money amounts, measuring and comparing 2D and 3D shapes.  Well done everyone!

Cardboard Arcade Math Project!

We are starting our cardboard arcade math project.  This is based on "Caine's Arcade", the story of a 9 year old boy in L.A. who built a full games arcade out of cardboard.  Right now we are busy gathering our materials and cardboard.  Before we begin to build our arcade, we will be practising how to make a budget, adding, subtracting and multiplying with different money amounts, measuring our materials needed and calculating what we will need to build on a $50.00 budget.  Here is the inspirational video, enjoy!

We are now on Edmodo, a classroom site where we can learn together, chat and work on activities.  Sign in at the right hand menu under www.edmodo.com and let the fun begin!

Roald Dahl's "The Witches"

We are almost finished reading our second Roald Dahl novel, "The Witches."  It was great fun making the witches out of clay, with their blue saliva and wigs.  Next, we are watching the movie version of the book, and then on to "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory."  Yummy!
