TRAP THE WASP CHALLENGE

Amon, who we have previously met as a very Effective Communicator, came up with a wonderful idea for a challenge for Genius Hour on Friday.  After reading the book The Giant Jam Sandwich, he and his friend Skylah, challenged the children to come up with a way to trap the wasps.  But there was a twist - the children were NOT allowed to make a sandwich, like the people in the book did.

Clever Amon and Skylah read the book to the children as the HOOK, then they told them the success criteria they had come up with.

The children worked very hard problem solving, negotiating with their team mates, problem solving and working together to solve the problem.

Here's the video of Amon issuing the challenge to the class...  we think he'll be a teacher when he grows up!

Here is Amon and Skylah's slideshow - with a bit of help from Mrs Lunn...




Here's how the kids all did...

Oliver W and Quinn G are working on their trap.

Ryla, Ava-Rose and Holly H are busy at work designing and making a trap.  They did a great job following their plan.

Fear not the people of Itching Down.
The Dinosaurs will eat the wasps!

   

Here's the video of the story...

We had a Wasp Challenge and we made a trap.  There was one hundred wasp and then we made a ginormous jam sandwich and the wasp for fat and fat and the wasp went BOOM! By Kento
