Year 7 and 8 go to technology so Year 6 had a challenge to build a tower with bamboo sticks and marshmallows
Some of us did not do very well with our planning and had to begin more than once.
Some people found it hard to communicate, combine their plan, work as a team and discuss things as they went. The people who did this managed to get a successful tower that had the mass evenly distributed which allowed them to build it higher.
In the end, everyone was given a plastic bag to name and halve the marshmallows to eat. We were very careful about washing our hands and sanitising ourselves and the desk before we started work. We all had the same number or marshmallows per group so it was very fair.
Goodmorning Room Two,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Dianne! And I am a year 8 attending St Pius X.
I really like that you guys have TRIED to communicate and combine your plans, I think that it is really hard to communicate or talk to others because I am not very confident.
I also think that is is a great idea to use marshmallows because it is hard and it will keep things still if you poke it into the marshmallows.
I would like to see you guys try with Blu Tak instead of marshmallows.
That is all, keep up the amazing work!
Ka Kite!
Dianne
