This week we built some bridges. First we started by watching a video about some kids in India who had to cross a rushing river to get to school. Then we started to design a blue print of a bridge that we would build. Next we built our bridges using materials like popsicle sticks, stir sticks, string and LOTS OF TAPE! After we finished we made a video where we talked about why our bridges were strong and why they might fail. Finally we tested our bridges by piling huge Jenga blocks (that weighed 18 and 1/2 small blocks) on our bridges until they collapsed.
We are super excited because Ms. Nguyen has come back to our class! Ms. Nguyen is a student teacher who has come from the U of C. She has been working with some of us to make better mind maps about resources in Canada like coal, gold and lumber.
Another thing we did this week was we practiced our multiplication by making math cards. We looked at our last Friday Frenzy and we looked at some of the questions we got wrong and then we made cards so we can practice by ourselves or with a friend.
