Spaghetti Challenge

File_004.jpeg
On the second week, me, Pawin, Billie, and Julia worked together to make the highest uncooked spaghetti tower and to join the spaghetti, we used… MARSHMALLOWS! And in the end the chocolate egg has to balins on the tower for at least 30 seconds. Anyway we started of great. But the marshmallows were really sticky. After some minutes the tower was getting taller… but it fell down. And there was only two minutes left, ONLY TWO! My group was panicking. I was panicking. We were all panicking! We just started building and we didn’t care what it looked like. In the end it looked sooo bad. It was like something you would find in a trash can. But luckily the kinder surprise chocolate egg balanced on our short and ugly tower. And…  

What I learnt: I learnt to not panic. :D

    Good job Mika. I like how you were able to describe the exercise. I felt like I was there! I agree not to panic. It usually doesn't help. :-)

      Thank you for the positive comment. And I wonder what is the right time to panic? :D

    Your story made me laugh. Maybe you needed a bigger base. It was a great story. Well done.

    Over the years many people have told me that, "Now is not the time to panic." So when is the time to panic? I suspect it is not time to panic if spaghetti and marshmallows are involved. Maybe if my parachute was not opening I would panic. Do you think you would be able to build a better tower next time? Do you think you communicated well with your group? I suspect these may be more important skills that building a spaghetti tower.

    By the way; I find 'spaghetti' a hard word to spell.

    I look forward to your next blog post.

      Hi Mr Robertson. Thank you for commenting my blog and I think the time to panic is when something really really bad is happening like... when the school is closing. That will be really bad. I think my group will do better next time because our mistake was building to high and not making enough supports. And we did communicated our group well. Your right, spaghetti is a hard word to spell. I spell spigetti like this. I also looking forward to your next comment :D

    Hello Mika, my name is Anisia and I am a Year 6 at St.Bernadette's. I really liked the part when you said "try not to panic". I have learnt over the years not to panic too if I get something wrong.That looks like a really hard challenge and you all did it. Maybe next time could you check your spelling before you post it. I look forward to your future posts.
