Games Gala

On the last week of the term we held a Games Gala at school.  This was the grand finale of our term's focus on technology.  During this topic we looked at the way technology impacts on our lives, practised some practical technology problem solving activities and then designed our own games applying some of the techniques we learned from the practical activities.  Our designs all needed to met criteria agreed on by each class, for example, Harakeke's games needed to:
- Be strong and sturdy
- Be desirable and fun (people need to want to play it)
- Be working well
- Be realistic and achievable
This was also a fundraising venture as well because each class decided on a worthy cause to raise money for and the amount raised from people buying tickets went towards this cause.  Harakeke raised almost $80 for the SPCA.  Thank you to everyone who bought tickets and played our games.  Here we are in the process of creating our games.
