Our class has seven teams with 3/4 students per team. Each student made his/her own aircraft using the Design Process.Then, each team chose one aircraft to represent them in the Class Fly-offs.

Term 2 Week 1

Wow! I've just blinked and week 1 is behind us. What a great start though Room 4. I was really impressed with the way you have just continued from term 1.
   It was especially pleasing to see that you all remembered to collect your student timetable templates on Monday morning and that you've all just got on with it. I know some of you are still in the pit with this and just need more time to really get the hang of this, but I am super confident that you are all able to do this. Keep on trying and learn from your class mates.
  This term we will try to get our class blog off the ground, which will mean that our wiki will go on the back burner a bit. Hopefully we will find a way to use both. (Anyone out there with ideas on how to do this?)
