These are all the words that we had to put on our art work, we had to put the words outside the border and we had to make it fit.
Friendship
Respect
Gold
Silver
Bronze

My class and I created our own Olympic art.  We used Google to search up an olympic athlete.  Then we had to screenshot it so my teacher can print it off for us.  We also used metaphors and similes. The two bubbles down bottom are the speech bubbles and in these are my similes, and the one up top are the thought bubbles. In the thought bubbles are my metaphors.  Before we put our faces on our athlete’s body, we had to do a tessellation for our background.  We used a 3.8 triangle that created hexagons.  The tessellation I created, my shapes were not allowed to overlap and it can’t have any gaps.  It took us about 3 days to finish our art work..

Finally, our awesome artwork is hanging above us in Room 10!

In the experiment we had to build a structure that was tall and we had to put the equiptment together to make it balance by itself. The thing I think I did well was sharing my knowledge on how to build the structure , it was so hard the block underneath was making it fall. So my teammates worked as a team and we got it to balance correctly, we got it finish in time. We tried our best to balance it but it kept on falling off...but we got there because we had one person to hold the base and two people to put the equipment on the structure and it didnt fall..it worked!! We were all happy.

This is round 2 it was really hard because we had to make a building with sides
sticking out. We tried our best and I think my teammates done well what we have here.
Its looks meese but we done a good job on it, and we worked really hard on it. So we had to biuld a structure so the sides could stick out. This was really hard. We had a smart girl Memphis and she had ideas and we followed her lead.

This was our last challenge, we had to build the tallest structure by using the eqiupment. We all had some good thoughts and when we build the structure we new what it will look like and it did, we had to put the Long wooden sticks on the blocks so it can stand tall and balance, but it kept on falling down, we tried our best and we made it tall, and my teacher was proud of us.
