Spy's like us

June 9, 2012

After watching the movie Ghost Protocol, I handed an envelope to Connor and Olivia asking if they chose to accept the mission.  They did.

Our adventure was at 5 Wits in Foxboro.

Connor and Olivia accepted the Espionage challenge. We needed to discover the mole in our organization who gave secret spy satellite plans to our enemy.
Our mission started in an inconspicuous Rug Shop that was bugged with listening devices!
After that we went through a secret back door and down and elevator to sneak into a secret lab.
   But oh no! We had to deal with lasers!
After barely getting thru the laser hallway we entered a lab where we needed to find key cards. After discovering they had already completed the spy satellite we moved to the next room....
 and found a BOMB!

After we were not able to diffuse the bomb we hurried to the bomb shelter! Inside we heard the blast... we were safe but the door was locked and we needed to align the fuses.
Upon returning to the room with the bomb, we found not much left of the room, everything was destroyed. We did however discover the mole.

Our mission as spy's was complete!

Olivia's Destination Imagination Competition

March 17, 2012

Olivia's third grade participated in Destination Imagination competition which...

"Destination ImagiNation (DI) is an educational program in which student teams solve open-ended Challenges and present their solutions at Tournaments. Teams are tested to think on their feet, work together and devise original solutions that satisfy the requirements of the Challenges. Participants gain more than just basic knowledge and skills—they learn to unleash their imaginations and take unique approaches to problem solving."

Unfortunately my cell phone with video and pics was unable to be recovered but Olivia and her team did a fantastic job. The only 3rd grade team there! Amazing
