Personal Best


 This term our inquiry topic is called 'Personal Best'.  One of our lines of inquiry are 'Combining different strengths creates more enterprising teams'.  To kick start off this topic Sally put us into teams and we had to create the tallest free standing newspaper structure to hold a large dice using just 6 sheets of newspaper, a pair of scissors and 1 metre of masking tape.
 
To make this even more difficult we each had different criteria placed on us.

Person 1 – Could only use on hand
Person 2 – Couldn’t talk
Person 3- Only person who could touch the masking tape
Person 4- Only person who could touch the scissors.

Some of our Thoughts...
I found it frustrating because I couldn’t touch the scissors and had to rip the masking tape in other ways.

It was tricky to roll up paper with one hands. Molly You could use your foot to help you.  Willem
  As a result of carrying out this challenge we found that we had to draw on different people's strengths and their resources
