Raincoat BP Technology Challenge.

On Friday 1st August the Taranaki Syndicate had a syndicate wide BP Technology Challenge afternoon. The children were split into groups of 5 or 6 and were all given 6 plastic bags, 2 meters of sellotape and 1 pair of scissors. Their challenge was to make a raincoat to protect them from the rain. One person in each group had to be able to wear it. The kids had heaps of fun making their raincoats. All of the raincoats were modelled for the rest of the syndicate at the end of the day then the teachers chose the best one from each class. The people wearing those ones had to walk around the courts 3 times so we could see if they raincoats were durable and wouldnt fall apart. Mr Dickey also got the house out to test that they would keep the rain out. It was a great afternoon! Here are some of the photos:
