Car Co-operative Activity

Myspace Generators & Toys

On Friday our class had a discussion on the importance of effectively co-operating. It is very important that kids learn to work well with others as in society they are/will be required to work along with others.

As a result of our class discussion we decided upon the following;

We are learning to be an...Effective Co-operative Group

·             Listen to each other (Relating to others)

·             Combine ideas and compromise (Relating to others)

·             Positive Attitude

·             Don’t be bossy!!!!

·             Fair Play

·             Help each other (Participating & contributing)

·             Don’t be a sore loser

·             Don’t rush into things (Managing Self)

·             Work as a TEAM (Relating to others)

·             Don’t be selfish (share)

·             Self-control (Managing Self)

After setting ourselves up for success I presented the class with the challenge of designing and constructing a ramp for a toy car. The aim was for the group to make the toy car travel the furtherest distance. The reward was a Perky Nana choc bar each :)

It was pleasing to see how well all groups did in achieving the criteria. Check out the photos and videos below.

Here they all are busy with their final preparations before the competition.

Whoops...that went a bit sideways guys!

That was a good effort. That was the second best distance.

Well done on this one boys. It was your first attempt and was immediately the furtherest distance set. Great team work and a great result :)

Did someone chuck it into reverse gear????

WOW! Crash and roll!!!

That was nice and smooth which helped it go straight. Good one!

Whoops....the brakes came on!

I wonder if it was a bit too steep for the car?

Very good effort

Never mind girls....someone has to come last ;)
