AN EGGY CHALLENGE Report By: Charlotte Thomson
The end of Term Three brings many things such as summer and the feel that the end of the year is drawing closer. At the end of Term Three the year seven teachers, Miss Siácci, Dr Trapp, Ms Johns and Ms Eales, all decided that they wanted a team building activity that the girls could work together, out of their comfort zones to create the perfect design. This is how the teachers got the idea of the egg drop challenge. The idea was for the girls to create a way to protect the egg when it hits the ground. They had to show the judges (the teachers) which one was the best. The judges took bribes, there were some challenges that the girls had to face, such as making sure that they had the right materials and to make sure that everyone was included. Nevertheless, each team managed to create a successful way to protect their egg. There were categories, such as Best Dressed Egg, Most Innovative Design, and Longest Time in the Air. Each team got to run their design. before the judges decided who would win. When the students got back to school the teachers announced the winner. The winners for the Best Dressed Egg were: Chicken Nuggets x 5. The winners for Most Innovative Design: Maple Seeds. And the winners for the Best Overall and Longest time in the Air: Eggcellent Flying Chickens. Congrats to all the winners of the egg drop challenge. And congrats to the teachers for coming up with a eggcellent idea. I hope that the year sevens of next year get to enjoy it as much as we did.
