Ko te Raapa 10 o te Mahuru tenei ra
The Marshmallow Challenge
It all started when Mrs.Dines my teacher said we all had to get into our Kidpreneur groups in my group was John, Johnny, Soana, Melayka and of cause me.What were we doing I thought “Each group has to build a tower in 20 minutes with the 20 spaghetti sticks, sticky tape and wool while holding a marshmallow at the top” Mrs Dines said. My friend John said we should try and make a tripod.
The time had started and we began to do John’s idea we were taping the spaghetti sticks together really well but we had to make sure it was able to stand. The tripod could stand “yes” we all said and there was still 13 minutes left “We should just leave it now” John said.
“I think we should make it bigger” Johnnie said so that was what we did we added more tapped sticks to the tripod, but then we tried to make the tripod stand again and it couldn’t stand by itself.One of the sticks was uneven and so that meant we had to try and fix it by breaking some of the sticks to make the them all even.
By trying to break the sticks 5 minutes had passed but we were finished and the tripod could stand by itself, Soana put the marshmallow back on the tripod and we left it alone. “5,4,3,2,1” We all shouted and are tripod was still standing after all of our noise.It was fun making the tripod with my group even though we did have some mistakes at least we finished it off with a smile.
