Class Treaty

This week we are developing our class treaty based around five ideas; Collaboration, Curiosity, Risk-taking, Self-managing and Respect. We are exploring each one and thinking about what that would look like in our classroom. 

On Friday we talked about Collaboration. We think this means working together, adding on to other people's ideas, listening to other people's ideas and helping people. We did a bridge building challenge and reflected on how we collaborated (see videos below). 

Today we explored Curiosity. We think in our class that would look like asking questions, learning about new things, being interested and wanting to find out information about people, places or things. We did some different activities such as making Hulk hands (baking soda and vinegar in a glove), makey makey (programming using Scratch to make playdough musical instruments), oobleck, magnets, kinetic sand, electric circuits using brainbox.  From doing these activities we came up with questions and also thought about other things we wanted to find out about. 

Then we played with fire! Well, we did the tea bag rocket experiment. Over and over until we ran out of tea bags because it is just that much fun!
