We are glad to be back to school to see everyone this week. We hope the holidays gave everyone the chance to relax and recharge ready for our last term this school session. Class Star were very excited for our STEM (Science Technology Engineering Maths) challenge to build the tallest tower possible from spaghetti and marshmallows. We watched some video clips for inspiration and then set about building our own designs. We thought about the shapes we could use and how to improve the strength of our structures. Finally, we tested our creative designs by balancing an item on our towers. We wondered…Did the quick cook spaghetti make a difference? Did the colour of the marshmallows make a difference? Would bigger marshmallows have built taller towers?  Do cold or warm hands change how well you can build?

What do you think of our results? Could you give this a go at home?
