Marshmallow challenge

Today in room 7 we were split into groups and told we were doing a marshmallow challenge. We had 20 pieces of spaghetti, a marshmallow, 1m of scotch tape and 1m of string, we had to make a self supported structure with the marshmallow at the top.we began talking about the plan straight away. We ended up choosing to make a cube outline then sit a pyramid on top of that with the marshmallow on top,two people were working on the pyramid and three were on the box. The box kept on slipping out so we decided to just use the pyramid and poke a piece of spaghetti through to hold up the marshmallow. In the end ours wasn't the tallest but just after the tallest got measured it fell over, we ended up winning the small team building game. It took a few skills like communicating and being open to ideas.

  2. Great piece of writing i really understood the whole concept of the marsh mallow challenge just from this writing. good punctuation and explaining the skills needed for a successful pasta/marsh mallow tower next time you could add some more describing words to sass it up because it was a really fun challenge so just some words to make it sound as exciting as it was ;) -keeva
