6.  Day1: We have made a start on our questions we have also inserted brain storm we made on ideas for our community issue. Day2: We have revised our questions to make them more related to our community. Day 3:Finished and hypothesized most of our questions. Day 4: Today we finished our questions and started to answer some of them. =__//**self reflections**//__=

Charlie: We have had a great time working on our project and it has been really good fun but certain members of our group have not done much to contribute to our final project. I am a bit disappointed that we did not get to carry out our action plan but it has been fun designing it, assigning jobs and planning when, where and what we shall do.

Courtney: Working on our Starship project, we have found out a lot and it has been an interesting topic to research. We had fun organising our fundraiser but we didn't have enough time to carry it out.

Teacher Reflection - Well done group, your questions are well thought out and you have researched these well. You action plan is coming together well, I like the idea of a sausage and waffle stall. You will need to however make sure people know why you are doing this. How is in charge of advertising to let people know the reasons for you sell this stuff. The idea is for you to really promote Starship so people are aware of their needs. media type="custom" key="2220017"
