Falling newspaper towers

Has your teacher ever given you a challenge to make a paper tower?

Mr Goodwin gave us a challenge to build a very tall tower that can stand by it self.

Everyone thought it was going to be easy, but it was a disaster.

It all started when we sat down on the mat, we were wondering where did the table go. Mr Goodwin gave us a challenge to build the tallest paper tower in eight minutes. So that was why things were moved, for a newspaper tower challenge. Anyway Mr Goodwin started handing out the materials, a long piece of masking tape five pieces of newspaper and scissors.

After Mr Goodwin gave our materials we started to make our towers. We all took a piece of paper and started building. I finished the first tower in my team then it turned into a falling tower.  Mr Goodwin came and said to build a base at the bottom to hold up the tower so it doesn't fall. One minute later we finished the base and added the finishing touches.

After we put our tower in front of the mat our tower fell all because of a paper that weighed it down. Only two teams finished one tower was shaped like a pyramid thee other one was straight. We couldn't tell which team won so we stole a long ruler. The tall straight tower had won the competition. YEAHHH!!!                             

Mr Goodwin had given us a challenge to build the tallest paper tower in 8 minutes. Last time Mr Goodwin feed us chicken flavoured worms. I thought he drank to much coffee and had gone overboard. Unfortunatly Everbody was saying the challenge of building a newspaper in eight minutes was going to be easy but it was a disaster.

My awesome Holiday highlight

“ Adam, get up we're going somewhere”.  My brother Haron said, as he was coming into the room. It was nine o’clock when I got up to get ready for our special trip. I had no idea where we we’re going as I got to the kitchen seeing everybody rushing and jumping up and down with enthusiasm.

On the road

We we’re sitting in the car doing nothing much but just staring outside the window at the beautiful view. When suddenly I saw a sign that said “Miranda beach”.

The beach

Miranda beach was filled with alot of huge rocks. I was expecting sand but instead I saw rocks, rocks and more rocks. The water was a nice blue greenish color. I saw a little school of tadpole fishes zig zagging in the water while we were catching them.

At first the water was Freezing cold but then I started getting use to it. After a few minutes it started getting cold and colder. I felt like I was in antarctica stranded by myself with no food and no water.

Leaving Miranda Beach        

The day was coming to an end and it was time for us to leave. We spent our last minutes at miranda beach  playing games and talking for a little while. Then we headed for our car and left lovely Miranda Beach.
