An important part of our classroom is TEAM work. We have learned that TEAM stands for :

To help us learn to work together, we have been given some challenges. One of the challenges students encountered was how to Save Fred. Fred is a worm who was tossed from his boat (the cup) and the boat turned upside down with his lifejacket trapped underneath. The students needed to work together using paperclips to try and put Fred’s life jacket back on. Students were not allowed to use their hands to touch the boat, Fred, or the life jacket.

With a lot of discussion, planning, debating, and experimentation, all groups successfully saved Fred.

Yippeee! Well done Grade 3s.
