Pyjama Day in Room 9 - The Marshmallow Challenge

Take 20 sticks of dry spaghetti, a metre of masking tape, a metre of string and one marshmallow.  The Challenge:  teams (of 4 or 5) have 18 minutes to use the material provided to construct a self supporting tower with the marshmallow on top.  

We had some great teamwork displayed and one team successful in constructing a structure that would support the marshmallow.  A great start to a fun day!  The team showing the best team work and the team with the standing structure each got a couple of (untouched!) marshmallows to eat & a round of applause.
