Room 8 Egg Firing Catapults

Last week on various days we  made or improved our three types of catapults.  They were: The Popsicle, the Peg and the Coat-hanger.   We tried out all three in the hall with jaffas, marshmallows and jellybeans (they were very tasty yum  yum).  On Monday room 8  brought eggs to dress up.  We had various styles including : super eggs, gentle eggs (gentlemen) and wacky eggs.   On Tuesday Mr Burt came into the class with some good news and some bad news. The bad news was that the popsicle, peg and coat hanger catapults were too weak to fire an egg.  The good news was that the big catapults that Nina, Brad and Alexander built were perfect for firing them over the castle wall.  So instead, with the small catapults, we fired fake jellybeans.  Then the big catapults fired our eggs, some survived but so me splattered.  Then for the PRIZES!  The winners got two Crunchies  the other people just got one   snake.  Here are some thoughts that some people said. Kayla-Awesome I really liked it. 

 was really fantastic with the big catapults when they fired off the eggs.  Janalli -  I thought that they were really awesome. Hope- Fun, creative and cool, really fun dressing up the eggs. Josh- great it was cool when some of the eggs splattered on the ground and on the castle wall.  Celine- It was really funny when the eggs hit the wall. Alicia- It was really fun when we fired them. Victoria- It was really fun and cool, I liked firing the eggs. Caitlin- All of it was heaps of fun, I think when Room 8 catapulted eggs over a cardboard castle wall and they splattered everywhere. But we cleaned it all up afterwards.
