Problem Solving and Teamwork

The challenge:

To rescue SAM from imminent danger! He cannot swim. He is trapped on top of a cup and his lifesaver is trapped underneath. The only thing that can save him is getting the lifesaver over Sam. The challenge is that the pairs cannot touch Sam, they cannot touch the cup, they cannot touch the lifesaver. The only thing they can touch is the two paperclips they have been given.

Can they do it?

BP Class Challenge


On Wednesday, the kids in room 16 where spilt into groups for 2 and got given a box filed with interesting Stuff.  We had to build a tower the biggest tower and we all had a LEGO man that we had to put on the top of the tower. Everyone had 30 minutes. After we finish Miss Cheeseman measure them and Billy and Toby won. Second place was Xanthe and Mariah. The people that lost were  … Ryan and Isabella. 
It was fun and hard because there was small and big stuff and also because we didn't have anything like glue to glue it together.  We had to keep on trying because the problems were the tower was very wobbly because most of the stuff was skinny.
