Thank you to all of you who put an entry into the family challenge: to design a house that would be wind (hurricane), water (tsunami) and shake (earthquake) proof.

The Rights Committee met this morning and tested the houses.  First they grouped the entries by the main material they were made from.  Then they split into pairs where they tested the houses against the elements.  Jenna and Silvana were shaking the houses, with much vigor!!  Alfie and Euan were trying to blow the houses off the table with the hairdryer! And Lilly and Hanna were pouring the water using a tea pot borrowed from P1/2!

Unfortunately there were some houses that did not survive, mainly the shake test!  The entries that did survive are going to be judged by the class teachers at lunch time to decide upon a winner for each material catergory: wood, lego, cardboard and other.  The winning houses will be announced after our Easter Service tomorrow in the Community Centre.  So watch this space!
