Lego day!

 Hi guys,

Last week on Friday a Lady named Rachel from house of bricks came to our school with lots of Lego!

We have been learning about Character and Collaboration for P.B.L and this was our booster to get some Character juices boosting through us. We had a few fun challenges that we had to get through, through the day that we all really enjoyed. The first activity that my group went through was the Mosaics. This was a fun activity for many people but this just wasn't my thing I like art but after a while of making designs made of Lego and breaking it apart i was a bit getting a bit bored but after morning tea I was in for a real treat! After morning tea we all headed to year 7 and 8 hub where Lego of different shapes, sizes and colours were scattered across mats. We sat down listening to Rachel as she explained the next task. The task was to go over to a mat of our choice which already had small brown bases for everyone to build upon. When we had chosen a mat we would start building something for a period of 5 minutes after the 5 minutes was over we had to pass it round to the next person clockwise and they would continue building on our base for another 5 minutes and pass it round to the next person. So I started building a Pre-school. My Pre-school was going very successfully until the 5 minutes was over and I passed it to the boy next to me for him to continue, and everything from then on just changed! At first he was building on to make my Pre-school then he saw a eyeball in the Lego pile and stuck it on and my Pre-school become a Eye-school. We  went round and round in a circle and my creation kept becoming more and more eyeballnised ( if that even is a word ) until my Pre-school came to one person who changed it completely. This girl took every single eye-ball out of the Pre-school and returned it to what it was first supposed to be an ordinary Pre-school.  Soon after our time was up and we went to the next rotation. We got into peers to make a super fast, super speedy speeding race car. We were all given wheels to start our creation with. Me and my buddy looked round for things that would make it go a larger distance faster. We thought that weight at the back would make it go fast so thats what we did. We went back and forth testing our race car until time was up. We all sat down and watched cars race down the ramp. Ours was first. We were against someone and we won. We had a chance...although we thought. As more and more cars went down the ramp we knew we were not gonna be on that podium. In the end we were no where close to the top, although our car did go down the ramp we lost, and what a great loss it was.
