Recount: Marshmallow Challenge

Task description: This week we have been learning how to create a recount by adding lots of detail to what we are writing. We had to complete a fun activity called the marshmallow challenge. Once we finished our challenge we had to write a recount about our experience. Check out my recount below. Please leave a positive comment on my blog.

Today we got into groups and completed a marshmallow challenge. We had 10 marshmallows and 20 pasta sticks. We had to make the tallest tower to win the challenge. We got into a group of 5 people: Catherine, Alpina, Emzjull, Sophia and myself. There was only fifteen minutes to make the tower.

The first thing I did with my group was to get an idea of what we were going to do with the pasta sticks. For our first idea we broke our pasta sticks and put one marshmallow on each stick and then stacked them on top of each other. But that did not work out as we wanted it to. Then we came up with another idea, we started with the base then we started to stack the marshmallows on top of each other.

The next thing that happened was we tried to put both of these ideas together to build the tallest tower. We did manage to get our tower to stand up and it was looking pretty solid for a while. While we were adding more bits and waiting for the timer to countdown our tower started to look like it might not hold up.

When the timer went off and we went to look at other peoples towers ours fell over and we had to hold it up with our hands. I think we had really good ideas and lots of them but we didn’t plan it before we started. We just went in and broke up all the sticks and marshmallows.

I had fun working with my group for this challenge. We all had lots of really good ideas. Next time I think we should plan our idea out a bit better.
