On Friday, August 6th, we dedicated a day to Jean Batten Activities to beat the record of other classes. My group consisted of Me, Jess, and Lilley. We were called GER pronounced j-er. The first activity we got was to find a picture of Louis Blériot. I think it was the easiest one of them all as we were the first ones done with a time of 2-3 minutes. The longest group took 20. We didn't really need any skills other than being able to follow instructions and clues.
When we did the morse code we got the answer right the first time but ordered the letters wrong. The words were 'Arrives Mangere' which is a place in Auckland, New Zealand. Then there was a code with numbers to solve what the time was when she landed. Eg. 123654 are not in the number, 789 three numbers are right but in the wrong place and so on. We had to use problem solving skills to figure out that she landed at 5:00PM. We got it after a while and then a group stole our answers.
Making buzz planes was pretty easy because all we had to do was connect a few wires but the whole class needed help from next door to make them vibrate.Our group and Jorgias group collaborated because theirs broken. We decided to both our batteries on one car. I think that made a big difference. Our plane was the fastest by far. We needed a little bit of techinical skills and problem solving for this.
Overall we came fourth with 2 first places in the activities.
Your group participated really well together. Who was the group that stole your answer? Did your group video your buzz plane? Insert it in this blog if you did.
