Eggceptional Survivors!

Wow!  I must say how impressed I am with the DT designs for Group 2's Eggsperiment!  All 9 eggs survived perfectly in tact!  Big congratulations to Taylor, Ebony, Liberty, Isabella, Oliver, Bethany, Luke, Ethan and Harry!

I've picked out just a few pictures of their work in action!  Enjoy!
Taylor had the original idea of putting his egg inside a stuffed animal!

Bethany was incredibly focused on her intricate design!

Ethan had to do a lot of problem solving to make his design come to life!

Oliver took a big risk with his plan, but it worked out!

Isabella was all about padding, padding, padding!

Harry had some very unique materials that he brought from home!

Ebony had the largest design by a long shot!


Luke was had the most original padding ideas for this group! Play doh was the chosen option! 

I can't wait to see what the Catfield kids come up with next!

¡actualización español!

As we've been studying Spanish at Catfield for about 9 months now, the children have proven they're ready to take on a new challenge!  We've just started learning how to conjugate verbs in Spanish & they're  all off to a flying start!  Verbs in Spanish seem very complicated at first, but once they've got the memory work done, the pattern will seem natural to them!  We're starting off by looking at the patterns for verbs that end with "ar" initially.  Just look at what they can do already!

Way to go Ethan!

Very impressive Liberty!

The Panthers class have also done a great job organizing their own tables and colour coding their work to help them memorize the pattern!

¡Excelente Bethany!
 
 
¡Impresionante Eleanor!
