"Arch"- itecture

Today in gifted, we built arches out of books and chairs. We used heavy books on the bottom to be a good base, and lighter books at the top. It was for our study about Architecture. We used 13 books total to make the arches. We had to buttress each side of the arch to help it stand. Buttressing is when you put pressure on it to help it stand.

Our gifted day

Today in gifted we did secret sentances. Secret sentances is when their are two people.Each person picks a sentance. Then you pick a situation like an underwater conversation. Each person takes turns having a conversation. After about three or four times you would use your secret sentance. But the secret sentance must make sense with what is actually being talked about. You can push the conversation torwards what your secret sentance is and give a thumbs up when you used your secret sentance.
We also did Arches. In arches we took our body and used our hand to support us like an arch.Keeping the arch up is called buttresting.
What we also did was,we were handed a list with global monuments. We were also handed a piece of paper with a map of the world. Once you find the location of the monument in an atlas you must mark the correspondig number of the monument on your piece of paper with a map of the world.
