The day kicked off with an exciting Stadium Tour which the children found fascinating. The group were lucky enough to explore the stadium’s stands, and even go behind the scenes and have a sneak peak into the players’ tunnel. The children did freeze frame acting in the interview room pretending to be an interviewer with a player. Next, the children learnt some history about the Saints and the sport of rugby. Individually the children jotted all their interesting new facts down on a fun quiz sheet. The group were also privileged enough to have a look around the Home and Away changing rooms; run out of the players’ tunnel; have a look at the Mobbs Memorial, and enter the Sturtridge stand.
Following this, children were challenged to test their design technology skills where they designed and built a motorised buggy using Robo-Lab. Children had to create a two wheeled buggy that could turn a full and exact 360degree turn, encouraging them to consider mathematical estimations and angles. Extending the challenge children developed their design creating a three or four wheeled motor buggy which could race along the corridor and park directly on an A3 sheet of paper, and then parking in our Saints Robo-Lab garage. To end this great activity the children entered a grand prix racing one another.
The final activity of the day got the children’s hearts racing as they played a fantastic session of Tag Rugby. All the children got activley involved in the many activities and we saw some super skill development and impressive team work!
The children had another fantastic day and eagerly await Day 3 where they will create their own Photostory and have another great practical session.
