Marshmallow challenge

Mrs Dines had prepared a challenge for us all, a marshmallow challenge. We got into our kidpreneur groups and waited for the timer to start. I was with Asia, Carlos, Benjamin and Jarrod. The challenge was to see who could build the most highest tower out of spaghetti sticks with the help of tape and string and the marshmallow was to be placed on top. We all wanted to make the highest tower but the thing was, it had to be stable and stay in place. The timer was pressed and it was game on.

We were all shouting and we didn’t know how we could make it stand. At first my group tried to make it as tall as possible by making it stand up straight and adding more sticks by taping them together. That didn’t work so we tried another way. We decided to make a tripod and that worked much better. The only thing holding us back was because of a person in our group, he was messing around. It was nearly time up and we kept adding more sticks until we thought it was tall enough. But when we let it go it collapsed.

The time was up and we didn’t know what else to do but it was worth a try. The winners were the group that were making cards, the second group was the people making broaches and loom bands and third place was the group making hair accessories. The group making photo frames would have come first but their one didn’t turn out either, it stood for a few seconds then it collapsed. We all tried our very best and were all rewarded with a marshmallow. It was a challenging challenge.
