Over the past 2 weeks our class has spent a huge amount of time problem solving, experimenting and learning through failure about how to achieve success. The class persevered and all achieved success in the end, no matter how long it took. A great lesson to be learned.
Here is a video showing the machines they made.

Bring on Term 2
This term we are focusing on innovation and biodiversity. To start off with innovation the children are going to be needing to working on making Rube Goldberg machines. Here's a taster of what Rube Goldberg machines are like.
Hopefully by the end of Week 2 the class will have a successful machine to present, but this is all about making changes to existing items and learning resilience and persistence through experimentation. Hopefully the class will realise that you can't always be successful straight away and that failure is not bad but helps give direction for future success.
