TUESDAY IN THE OAK ROOM


Today was a busy creation day in the Oak Room. Children were creating a ramp for their race cars. The children looked at a picture of a ramp on a tablet, and formulated their ideas together based on how they thought they wanted their ramp to look like. Then they got cardboard and packaging tape, cut the pieces to make a big long road. The children had to work together to figure out how long they wanted it and how high they wanted it to go. Finally, after a few trial runs they wanted to tape 5 long pieces together to form the track, as well as taping it to the window for the slight angle so their cars wouldn’t stop.

"It needs edges, so our cars won't fall off" - Mathias


"This can go here" - Divine


 "We need to tape it right here" - Logan


"Let's do it together to see which one is faster" - Mathias
"Ok, 1-2-3 GO!" - Divine


Trying out the finished track!!
