Task description: This week we have been learning how to create a recount with lots of descriptive language. We had a really fun challenge to complete as a class first and that was the Marshmallow challenge. After that we had to write a recount about our experience. Check out my recount below. Please leave a positive comment on my blog.
Today room 10 completed a marshmallow challenge. In my group there was Frank, Khittamai, Winter, Alex M, Mercy and myself. We were given 20 pieces of spaghetti and 10 marshmallows. We had to build the tallest tower in the class and we only had 15 minutes.
First we had five minutes to plan out how we wanted our tower to look. We talked about how to make it the tallest tower using the materials that we had. We could not agree about what would be the best way to create the tower.
The 15 minutes started and we decided to make it long. The pasta was holding us back, it kept on falling so we tried a different way. So we put a lot, like maybe four marshmallows, to balance it. When we did that it stood up for a few minutes and then it fell. So we decided to use the wall to make it stand up.
Only one minute left and it fell again. My whole group felt so bad. Only 35 seconds left and we built it so differently like it was a one year old mess. It was fun and I really enjoyed it.
