Homework due Week 5 (Fri 3rd June)


  • 100wc - see the photo above (due Thur 9am)
  • Spelling words (list 12) to be learnt for Thur
  • Homework diary signed for Tue
  • Google doc on Matariki to be completed for Friday
  • 'Google' Rube Goldberg simple machines to get some ideas for machines that you can make. You need to come to school next WEDNESDAY with an idea on paper.  Equipment needed must also be included along with instructions on how it will work. Equipment for this is NOT needed in school next Tuesday, just the idea.
  • We are starting to get into our 'simple machines' inquiry unit.  These are based around Rube Goldberg machines whereby traditional building materials, everyday items, and unique objects are being turned into functional pieces of equipment that work together to execute a simple task. Spend time gathering items from around your house, purchasing materials from stores, and/or hunting for unique objects at car boot sales. Possible building materials include:

  • Dominos
  • Wooden boards
  • Toilet paper rolls
  • CDs or floppy discs
  • Fans
  • Toy cars
  • Skateboards
  • Action figures
  • PVC pipe
  • Duct Tape
  • Peg boards
  • Zip Ties
  • Magnets
  • Marbles
  • String
  • Get creative!
