Grade 6 Spring Trip

judy.liu on

last week (May 22, 23 and 24) my class and 6.1, 6.2, 6.4 went on a 3-day trip together. There is 2 people in one room, but maybe because there is not enough room so there’s 3 people in my room. On the first day we did a civilisation game. In this game we had to build our own civilisation, in my civilisation we built 2 chair, a table, a swing, a tent and different weapons. On the second day’s morning we kept on adding things to our civilisation, and in the after noon we start building a raft, but on the way we carry the raft to the river the raft fell apart. On the last day we had to take all the things we built down.

Day One Simulation Reflection-Ancient Mesopotamia

judy.liu on

In this activity our class was split into different groups and each group had different materials to build the catapult. First, we had to create our own laws, create a language, and draw a temple to trade. We can’t talk when we are trading, but we could use the language we created when we are trading, after we got all the materials we could start to build the catapult, the first group to build it wins. During the activity my job was to design the temple. As a group, we divided the work load up by giving each person a job to work with, after we are done with our own job we could help each other. This way everybody in the group will be working on something. Our biggest accomplishment as a civilisation was everyone was working on something even if they are done with the job the group assigned them to do. Our weakest point as a civilisation was everyone wants to help to build the catapult, but sometime when everybody has different ideas it’ll be kind of messed up. If I could do this activity again, I would change the way I drew the temple, because I spent a long time drawing the inside of the temple. If there’s less detail, then I could save more time.

One Day

I am planing to make a coaster on one day and this is the colour I am choosing to make the clock, I choose this colour, because it’s my favourite colour.

First, I need to put the materials into the bowl, but the bowl didn’t work so I had to  put it into a plate to cook it.

I put it into the oven and waited for the plastic to melt.

I sanded the coaster to make it smooth.

I am also planing to make a clock and this is the colour I’m choosing to make it.

First, I need to put the materials into the plate. (I added parchment paper to keep them in the shape I want them to be in.)

I put it into the oven and waited for the plastic to melt.

then I have to drill a hole into the clock, so that I could put the pointers in

Finished!
