Using only spaghetti and marshmallows, the groups were asked to build the tallest (stable!) tower possible.
It was more challenging than it looked! The children had to consider their engineering skills and ask questions such as: How wide of a base do we need? What shape would make the best base? How can we build height without breaking or toppling the tower? How will we distribute the weight? And many more! I think we have some future architects and engineers on our hands!

Each group were given 6 cups, an elastic band and some string.
The challenge? To build various towers and structures. The trick? You can't touch the cups! Here is a glimpse of one group working really well as a team to solve the first challenge. Did they manage to get the last cup on without knocking over their tower? Welcome to Sixth Class Green 2023-2024!
On behalf of myself, Katie, Daniel, Harriet, Catríona and all the sixth class team, we are delighted to be working with Sixth Class Green again this year. We are looking forward to a fun-filled year ahead! Here is a glimpse of what we got up to to celebrate 'Back to School'! I'm extremely proud of all the effort and hard work 4th Green put in to their 'World Book Day' assembly performance. We hope you enjoy the first annual 'ESKERS' : ) In 4th Green we've been celebrating World Family Day (18th of May) as well as World Cultural Diversity Day (21st of May). We have also explored the 'Different Families, Same Love', take a look at some of our work. We hope you enjoy :) Good afternoon everybody! Well done to all of you on your work on your Home Learning Activities this week. I hope you all enjoy a well-deserved break over the next two weeks. If you are feeling bored, I have attached a document outlining some fun things that you could do over the Easter break. You can see these activities and more, as well as the corresponding pictures and tutorials here: https://www.stayathomemum.com.au/my-kids/activities/100-fun-things-to-do-on-school-holidays/ I will see you all hopefully in person, but possibly in virtual form on Monday 20th April. Until then, look after yourselves and your families, stay safe, stay healthy and stay home! I'm thinking of you all. Warm wishes, Sarah

Hello Everybody!
All of us at Esker are missing our Friday Learn Together Assemblies. So today, the teachers have recorded an assembly message that will be broadcast tomorrow! Please keep an eye on the school website tomorrow at 11 a.m. for our first virtual assembly. Ap Hello Everyone! Here are your home learning activities for today. A note about Spellings for Me: The children's accounts are already set up. Their user names and passwords are their first names and second names together. For example, my user name would be sarahtighe and my password would be sarahtighe. You can change their password if you wish when you log in. You will see an email address attached to the account details. These email addresses are not operational, there is no account set up in that name. You do not need to include an email address for your child to work on Spellings for Me. Their account is fully operational using their username and password. Please get in touch if there is anything I can help with. Happy Learning!
