Selling Frames

LI: to learn business
For the last couple of weeks LS1 has been studying business and enterprise. So LS1 started their own business, and started making frames to sell. They were selling normal sized frames and small frames. They first started off by picking a topic for their frame so it could guide them what the frame would look like. Some kids themes were seasons like Winter and Summer, some were holidays like Christmas. Some even did things like Fathers Day, and also did colour schemes like neon. LS1 did all sorts of things to design the frames. They have done painting, made their own accessories, and have done many more.

Tennis (Wk 4)

LI: to learn tennis
This week LS1 started off by doing rallies. But while they were doing rallies they had to try to control the power they put into the racket when they hit the ball. They then played doubles, which is just normal tennis but there are two people on each side. Then they practised their serving. When they were with their partner they had to be on different sides. So they were in a diagonal position. So they had the racket on their shoulder and the ball on the other hand so when they threw the ball up, they could hit the ball with the racket.

Coffee Shop Game

LI: to learn about business
For Inquiry LS1 were playing a coffee shop game. In the game they were in a coffee business. They had to buy the supply and adjust the recipe of the coffee to get it to taste good. If the coffee was good and the price was good the reputation would go up. It would show a graph showing if their reputation increased or decreased, how many cups they have sold, how much cash they made, and see if they changed the price while we were selling. So the objective of the game was to try to make as much money in 14 days.

Paper Plane Measurements

LI: to use statistical and scientific methods to study the effect of wing span and area on lift
This week Mr Wongs Math Groups tried different model planes and tested their studied the effect of the wingspan and area on lift. There were different plane designs like Zip Flip, Sonice Star, Fire Dart and heaps more. Then there were three main plane models. Which were Glider, Dart, and Stunt. They threw their paper planes ten times. They then had to find the average by adding all the measurements up and dividing it by ten. They then made a graph with a trend-line to see if the wingspan effected the distance flown by the plane.
