Base 10 Gunpowder Plot Poetry!

In Base 10, to commemorate the Gunpowder Plot and the 5th November celebrations, we’ve blended poetry with computing in a truly explosive way!

As part of our computing unit on publishing, we wrote acrostic poems to reflect on the historic event, then typed them up for publication. Drawing inspiration from the chaotic energy of Jackson Pollock, we created splattered backgrounds to showcase our words. A perfect mix of art, history, and computing!

Base 10’s Wonka Chocolate Room Designs!

Wonka’s Letter:

In English, we are writing a narrative which will be set in a Chocolate Room (like the one in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) of our own design.

After receiving a letter from Mr Wonka, we set out to use our imaginations and creativity to design our own Chocolate Room.

 

Our Mind Maps:

AI

Following the creation of our designs, we inputted our ideas into AI which then digitally created our rooms! We can’t wait to use these as further inspiration for our writing!

Base 10 Digestion Experiment

 

In our digestion experiment, we mashed a banana to mimic chewing and added water for saliva. This gooey mix went into a plastic bag as our “stomach,” where we added vinegar for acid and squeezed it to represent digestion. Then, we slid the bag into tights, acting as intestines, and squeezed again to let nutrients pass through while leaving waste behind. Who knew digestion could be so entertaining (and messy)?
