EOTC Bike Skills Day

We started our 'Bike Skills' day off with a technology challenge. The children had to work together in small groups to make a bike. The only things allowed were newspaper, cellotape and lots of imagination. Skills needed were problem solving and cooperation to roll, fold, twist and join the paper to make the shapes needed for the bike.

EOTC Mt Iron Walk

What a beautiful winter's day to walk up Mt Iron. Pod 3 & 4 children put in a great effort to complete the walk. Well done guy's!
