Twelve students from Year 4 competed in a Science and Engineering challenge today at Newcastle Basketball Stadium. Gill, Zane, Brendan, Jaden, Nelson, Joe, Louis, Terrell, Rhiannon, Cala, Lilly, and Ameliah represented our school in the challenge by constructing three towers made out of drinking straws in order to see which one could hold the most weight. Though we were not victorious on the day, our teams had constructed some creative designs that were able to withhold the weights of 1kg, 1.4kg, and 1.6kg. The students had a great day, and took notes on possible designs that they could try for next time.
Thank you to parents and family members for your assistance and support on the day. We hope you are as proud of your children as we are, as they represented Tighes Hill fantastically.
A very special thank you to Mis
s Staniland for all her hard work and time helping the teams complete their towers for the competition.
