Team Building: Spaghetti and Marshmallow tower!



Spaghetti and Marshmallow tower!









W.A.L.T work together as a team and build a tower using Spaghetti and Marshmallows.






My team (Jess, Peyton, Frances, Desiree) and I, worked together to build a tower only using Spaghetti and Marshmallows. First we cut the Marshmallows in half and then we stick them to the Spaghetti sticks and make our way up. Our goal is to build the most stable and tallest tower, the team that builds the most stable and highest tower within the time limit, wins!


Our team ended up winning so hooray for us!


Would you work well together with people in your school? Have you ever built a tower like this?

About me

Greetings! I’m Mia, I am 11 years old, turning 12 this year. I go to Kaingaroa School and I’m a year 7 in Tui Whanau. I like to watch and play games on my devices, go outside and play with my dogs, swimming, writing stories and much more! I am European with a little bit of Samoan. I was born and raised in Auckland, New Zealand. 10 years later my mum, and I then moved to the Karikari Peninsula. I like elephants, hippos, turtles, and Mole rats, don’t ask. I have two brothers, a stepmom and my parents. I can’t see my brothers and my Dad that often cause they sadly live in Auckland. :c My favorite food is Butter Chicken! When I lived in Auckland, I used to go to this place called “Oh Calcutta” and it sold the most amazing Butter Chicken!
I’m so excited for this year and I can’t wait to post on my blog, share my learning with others, and learn more about everyone!


Welcome to my Blog.

On November 4th of 2019 we did athletics and here's how you can do long jump

                Long jump


Yesterday on 4.11.19 we did athletics at Taipa area School. I’m gonna teach you how to do a
long jump because it’s my favorite sport.


First, in the long jump you need to get a long distance from the pit of sand you are gonna
jump in,


Second, you need to run as fast as you can to get a good speed to jump far. 


Third, once you’re on the mat/wood you need to jump high and far and swing your arms and
bend forward because if you fall back you will not get the score, so try to go forward as
much as possible.


Fourth, once you have done your jump walk to the left or right of the sandpit and walk to
the back of the line. 


If you make it in the finals do the same thing but make sure you put effort into it. 


What mat? 
The mat that you step on while you’re running and you
jump as far as possible
What color is the pit of sand?Red?Green?Purple? 
It’s a yellowish color.
