Model undersea ROVs
Inspired by William's dad's visit, we have invented our own model ROVs for undersea work. Not only did we build them but have made detailed annotated drawings to show how they work.

Good weather for the most part, ending in a downpour.
Well done Class 5 for working in mixed teams - a great way to meet people from other schools too!
How do you build an offshore wind farm?
William's dad came in to tell us all about his job today.

| We saw a video of the huge cables being chopped up aboard the ship. |
He lays the under-water cables that take the power ashore from off-shore turbines.
He uses ROVs (remote operated vehicles) to survey the area and then lay the cable under the sea bed.

| This one would fill our classroom! |
He operates the ROVs from the control room on the deck of the ship.

The cameras on the ROVs show what is happening underwater.

They engineers work 24 hours a day, in 12 hour shifts, in most weathers.
3D Shape Building
Last week we were revising the features of 3D shapes
we already knew and learning about some new ones.
Today we worked in groups to build shapes out of straws and
blutac to help us remember about their edges and vertices.
Ask us about how we contributed to
the activity as part of a group.
Some groups worked really well together.
Some people stuck well to the task and tried to
work out the best way of going about it.
Some people were good at taking a lead and organising the jobs.
Some people showed they could listen well to others and take advice.
