Tower Off!

This week, with bake off on our TVs, Hedgehogs’ thought they’d get involved… It wasn’t a bake off though, it was a tower off!

During the week we have been exploring lots of different famous towers from around the world and how they are built. Hedgehogs’ were very good at spotting famous towers in England. Whilst exploring these, we found out that most of the building had a wide structure at the bottom working up to a thinner top which was the top tip of the day.

So the challenge was to build the tallest, most stable tower with paper and tape BUT Hedgehogs’ only had 20 minutes to create this. There was stuff everywhere but Year Two loved the challenge. They worked brilliantly in teams and the results well… look for yourself.
