The Atomic Sharks: Week/Round 2 Post

This is the Second week of us working on this project. We have been mainly working on our display space of the Octopus's Garden for the open day on the 8th of December. This was given to us so that people visiting our school know what we are doing.
The Grade 7 members of our group have made a suggestions box and have continued research. They have been working on getting our the names done, to put on our poster.
The Grade 8 members have also been working on our display space. Matt, with a member from another group, have made a model of our classroom on Minecraft. Matt has also worked on a second suggestion box.
Joshua and I took the survey we prepared in paper copy, to some of the teachers. We thought this was a good idea because we would find it easier for us to have it categorized, paper for teachers and online for students. However, when we gave a copy to our principal, Mr.Stewart, he talked about how our survey did not really give us what we really could get. So, we had to go back to all the teachers and collect the surveys. After that, we edited the survey and handed them out again. Fortunately, Mr.Stewart thought it was good. Our survey has also been added to our website.

First Week: The Atomic Shark

For our English class, we, the Grade 7 and 8 have been assigned a project to design the classroom of the 21st century. Our teacher named the projet "The Octopus Garden". We have to find things that will make it a more comfortable environment, but at the same time, must explain its educational purpose.
This is the first week and the round 1 for our project. My Group, The Atomic Sharks have been assigned to find suitable furniture for our classroom. We have managed to design a survey and get it checked by Mrs.Holly. We have given it out to a few teacher but still have many more people to survey. Our main question is whether we want tables or not, because if we don't, we might as well not research into them. We have also been thinking about furniture that would be very easy to move so that we can have a more flexible and open classroom. The grade 7s have also been looking at using recycled materials to make some couches and shelves. I think this is a really good idea as it fits well with the environmental feel the walls and ceiling groups have been thinking about.

It would really help if everyone in the Octopus Garden could fill in the survey for us.
