All pupils from P5, 6 and 7 take part in ‘Challenge Friday’. The aim of challenge Friday is to develop skills for life such as collaboration, problem solving and communication.

This week’s challenge ‘How high can you go?’ was to build the tallest tower using only 5 sheets of paper and a selection of sticking materials. The tower had to stand on its own.

A team from Primary 7 won this week’s challenge with a tower that measured Im 11cm (and 6mm). In second place was a team from Miss Armstrong’s class with 1m 4cm, in third place was a team from Mrs Thacker’s class which measured 1m 4mm and in last place was a team from Mrs Williamson’s class which measured 85cm.

Well done to all the teams who managed to get the tower to stand long enough to be measured! Here are a few snapshots.
