STEAM Catapult Challenge

Last week for STEAM our task as a group was to create a catapult out of paper, tape and blu-tack. My group: Aung Naing, Sela, Karlos, Matthew and myself worked together to create a trebuchet. After rolling around 15 pieces of paper tightly, we taped them together to build the body. We also used a small plastic container to hold the object we were firing. Once our catapult was finished my group tested it out on a target.

Waltzing Matilda

Today during reading Matthew and I were working together to find the main idea of and summarise the story Waltzing Matilda, it's about a swag man or worker who steals a sheep and gets chased by policemen only to jump into a waterhole to escape. We were unpacking the language and learning about what life was like in the 1890s.
