MAHI TAHI - Week 3

Marshmallow Spaghetti Towers 

This week for mahi tahi we built towers using marshmellow and spaghetti. We had to channel our inner engineer, mathematician and architect to make sure that our towers were stable and had a good foundation. The tallest tower made today stood at 69cm, such a good effort made by everyone. It was awesome to hear all of the technical math language being used by everyone and to see that some teams had reflected on last week and decided to plan before creating. Fantastic job team! I am loving seeing you all become one big whanau.

    I've done the marshmallow Tower experience, It's so much fun when you and your friends are trying to win. Instead of building towers my class Built Bridges Maybe you could try that next time. Marika

    I really loved your blog post about marshmallow and Spaghetti towers. I've done this before and by my experience its pretty fun! Hopefully you's had an amazing time doing this. Did you lot eat the marshmallow? I would think that you guys didn't eat spaghetti. Hahaha, I'm not judging. Any team work skills you would have liked to share?

    Thanks,
    Jahzara
