Today's challenge was to build a structure which could launch (and steer) a marble towards a target 3 metres away.
The teams only had sheets of newsprint paper to use to create the ramp, plus sellotape. It had to be portable and free standing (they couldn't support it themselves).
All the teams managed the task really well, so accuracy was the testing point. They got 5 points for shooting past the drink bottle (3 metres away), and 10 points for actually hitting it.
There was a tie for first place (with 25 points from three goes):
The team of Danielle, Alena and Stacey, plus the team of Isaac, Aleks and Millie.

Today's challenge was to create a launcher for a table tennis ball with a selection of materials... 2 rubber bands, 6 sheets of paper, 4 straws, 4 ice block stocks, and sellotape. Not all the materials had to be used.
Not all the groups managed to finish, the task, but it was a great activity for practising our team work and for focusing on time management.
