Billy Carts

Keep watching this space for more videos, children's stories and poems. They are a work in progress and the children can't wait to share their fab work.
The Race was AMAZING and highlights will be on the screen as soon as the programme will let me. Yep there has been a bit of a clitch in the video making but I am trying my hardest to solve it. If I can't solve it then I will post some of the still photos on to the blog so you can all see the kids in action at the Race. It was a very cool afternoon and Room 8's trolleys rocked!!!

Busy Busy Busy! What a lot of learning has been going on with these Billy Carts? The children have had to organise all of the materials needed for the carts to be built. Parents have taken the children to the recycling depot and all materials used have been resourced from all sorts of places. It has been exciting to see what the children have managed to find and a huge thank you must go to the parents. Your help has been invaluable! It has been great to see Mums and Dads helping the children at school build the fabulous carts. It has been a really exciting time and now the carts are nearly finished. Keep watching this blog to see the finished products.

We are in the process of making Billy Carts. The task we were set was "Who can make the fastest and safest billy cart that can go down School Road Hill?"
We had to do some research at first and find out what a billy cart was. What were they made of? What makes them go fast? After that we had to make a prototype of the billy cart we were going to make. We also had to source the materials for our billy cart and the task here was to see who could get all the materials without spending heaps of money! This was a challenge.
The photos are of some of us planning our billy carts.
So far it has been lots of fun. Keep watching this space for the final go-carts or billy carts as they are called.
