Chrome Music Lab

We used our digital skills to create our very own music on the iPads. We were all very good at this and loved exploring on the Chrome Music Lab.

Spaghetti Rollercoaster building

We have been busy designing our rollercoaster and have now started to build a start for our rollercoaster using spaghetti and marshmallows to hold a piece of track ‘ruler’ up. We had a very sticky but fun time and used this practice ready for the big build!

Big Questions with Mr Meredith (Diocesan Director of Education) RVE 07/11/24

We worked with Mr Meredith, looking at a piece of art work by Romola Parish, called ‘Wilderness’

We discussed how the image made us feel and then tried to answer the following questions:-

Where are you standing in relation to the picture? Are you in it, or an observer, watching what is going on?

Which do you relate to- the bird or the sheep? Can you think why you feel more like one, or less like the other?

Earthquake simulator

We wanted to establish which shape base was the strongest for skyscrapers. We decided to build models of skyscrapers using LEGO and K’nex and then use LEGO We Do to create an earthquake simulator. We placed the models on the simulator to test how robust they were. Unfortunately the models were either too heavy for the simulator to move or too tall to stand upright on the simulator! We tried it on the table and carpet in the hope that the amount of friction would help, it didn’t. One of our class members thought to attach a LEGO plate as a base for the models to stand on, this didn’t work either!
