Technology

This term we are focussing on Technology and "The big wide world".

In Room 3 we have been talking about how technology helps us and protects us. We looked at the every day things we do and investigated how an envelope protects our letters- what if we wanted to post someone a biscuit??

This led to us designing our own envelopes for our biscuits. We each had 2 sheets of A4 paper, and some cello tape. Round one saw Miss D'Ath being the postman, and accidentally dropping the mail bag a few times.... however I was much to kind a postman and none of our biscuits broke. That saw us investigating Round two- would our biscuits survive in our envelopes if we sent them in the mail for real?

We each redesigned our envelopes and popped our biscuits in and off to the mail box they went. It took them a week to head into...... (we're not sure how far they got- that's our next investigation) and finally they were back to us at school. Room 3 were pretty excited to open up our envelopes.............
but unfortunately all our biscuits were broken...... except for Miss D'Ath (who didn't cheat!) but had thought hard about the best way to package her biscuits.

Our biscuits back from their trip to the mail centre! 

Next step we are having a good hard think about how we could re package our biscuits and we will get them into the mail again... this time we will check with Trina, our mail lady, to see how far our biscuits are travelling!
