Have you ever heard of the marshmallow challenge? Well the rules are very simple, you are given 25 bits of pasta (uncooked spaghetti), a long piece of tape, a marshmallow and some string. Today this is what we did in my class.
We had to go and sit in the blue space. I was in a group with Quincess, Akanesi, Paige and Nevayah. Then Miss Parrant said 3,2,1 GO!!! We all stood up and ran to a table, My group was trying to plan but we just started. We put the marshmallow on the table and pushed some of the pasta into the marshmallow.
After we did that we got the bit of string and put it around the pasta. Then we tied it into a bow, Then we got the tower and flipped it over and stuck it onto the table with the tape. Then we got the leftover pasta and stuck it into the marshmallow. Then we had to take it of because the pasta on top was coming off. It was tilting and looked like it would be impossible to work.
It was looking like we wouldn’t finish so we started again. We took the marshmallow off and put tape around the tower of pasta to try and hold it together. Then we put the marshmallow on top and our tower looked tall and big. When we let it go it was standing straight. We had managed to create a tower that stood by itself.
I was really happy with our tower because we were one of the only groups to have one standing. It looked a little bit ugly but it’s fine because it worked. We worked well as a team.
