Technology Challenge: Design A Bag! on PhotoPeach

Technology Challenge

On the last day of Term 1 we had a Technology Challenge. We had to design a bag that would.... OPEN and CLOSE, could be carried by a HANDLE, could hold Ms McVey's STAPLE GUN and was COOL and FUNKY. We had 55 minutes to complete the challenge and then we had to model the bag. A spokesperson from each group then talked to the class about the special features of their design. Check out the photos.

Tiddlaik the Frog

We read a great book about Tiddalik and then drew pictures to show the main events in the story. Then we retold it in our own words.

Read Ollie's writing, it's aweome!


Tiddalik

Long ago there was a frog named Tiddalik. He drank all the water on Earth. He was the biggest frog in the entire world. All the trees and grass died. The animals were SO thirsty. Some animals thought of a sneaky plan. “Let’s tickle him and the water will rush out of his mouth,” they said.

Finally Eel came swimming along. He squirmed closer and closer to the frog. He snuck under his tummy and tickle, tickle, tickle….finally Tiddalik laughed! Water gushed out of his mouth, it filled the lakes and the trees lived.
