Knowledge: Information About Diving

For around a week or so we have been doing this thing called alphabet research. Every morning at the start of reading we get a letter that hasn't been done, choose a topic that we know a bit about and research it. For one of the sessions I chose to do D - Diving here's my slide, so enjoy reading my work.

Pasta Tower Chaos

Yesterday afternoon we got set a challenge to make the tallest tower out of raw pasta and marshmallows. First we got split into groups I was in a group with Blake, Imogen and Adam then we had 5 minutes to plan and design what our tower was going to look like. Once our five minutes was up we all pretty much had a design in our head we then had 20 minutes to construct our tower it didn't all go so well as the pasta was bending and wouldn't stay so we started to brake the pasta into smaller pieces which worked until it came to judging and half of it fell down so our tower was barely 24cm high maybe we should have thought about the strength of pasta before we came up with our only idea.

Game Adaptations

Use your creative thinking to explore possible adaptations to this game to enhance both the fun factor and the ability to win the game. I have given you one example for each category but challenge yourself with other ideas and thinking.

Attack	Defence	Game Plan/Strategy
Use balls other than netballs that aren’t as heavy so the speed of the travelling ball also speeds up the game. After every round the ref should add or take out a ball.	4 players from each quad are allowed to sit on the bleaches to stretch with their arms and intercept flying balls. Play must not roll the balls through the gaps in the bleaches or throw the balls around the side of the court where there are no bleaches	People on the perimeter of the quad pass the ball to someone closer to the bleaches to allow them to throw it further into the opponent's area. Try to find a gap in the room to throw the ball into and when the team is wasting their time trying to get the ball try get the other teams throw the remaining balls into that team's court.
