We are going to have a challenge of the week. An activity you can take your time over and work with lots of different people to perfect. Maybe you could email in your finished work or upload it to EExAT! This week it is to make a marble run for something round and get it as far as you can around your home. See if you can use paper to design it first. Maybe you could record how many goes it took you to get it right. I wonder who could measure to see how far theirs went?

I did it as an egg run and it took me at least 40 goes to get it to work and even then the one we recorded needed a little help! You can click here to see my try.

Lots of us have had birthdays at home this April so here’s something fun to do with the leftover balloons if you have any.  Special happy birthday to Hannah and Amelia who have their birthdays this week!
