Paper Tower Challenge

Tuesday 31st January

Terror Tower

Today we did a co-operative activity where small groups were set the challenge of making the tallest paper tower in the class using only 20 sheets of newspaper, 2m of sellotape and scissors (for cutting only).

Look at the chaos that ensued! :)

    Loved the photographs and the video that went with this activity. 196cm is such a good height for a tower like this! We have a class page at our school and one of your students from 2011 in our class who told me about your page, you can see some of her work online, we'll also put your page on our class list online.
