The Rua Resource Centre has been working on some activities during Term 2.
Lego Tournament
This tournament was held during lunch times over 7 weeks. Students enjoyed working on building with Lego bricks and competing with other students. They built a range of objects which included a Crown for a Queen, a Penguin, a House , a Tower, a Desk Organiser, a bridge , an Oskar Trophy and even a food item – Steak with Ketchup and a Carrot. But Space Ship was a winner. Oscar Murfitt from 7B won the competition and received a small set of Lego as an award.
Talking about his participation in this tournament, Oscar says –
“I really enjoyed building Lego™ creations and seeing what I could improve on next time. It was very fun building against other people and deciding whose build was better. I would like to thank all the other competitors for versing me.”
One of the semi-finalists Samrudh Shankar , who also enjoyed participating in this tournament shares his thoughts too –
“When I did the Lego™ competition, I felt very competitive. I had many challenges and it helped me think outside the box! Even though I lost in the Semi-Finals, I loved the event and letting my creativity flow.”
