Technology Challenge during Activity Week

On Wednesday in the middle of activity week, room 9 did a very exciting technology challenge using only six plastic bags, a pair of scissors and two metres of tape. We had half an hour to create a raincoat on someone in your group that is easy to walk in and stops the rain and the wind penetrating through to your skin. After the half an hour of hard work it was time for the test. Everyone who was wearing the raincoat had to walk ten metres and got judged out of ten by Miss Bain to see how easily you could move in it. After that we went outside onto the back field. The people who were wearing the coats got a bucket of water tipped on them and then there whole group got to rip their coat off them. Finally they got judged out of ten, on how wet their clothes/togs were (some people wore their togs). There were no winners and we didn’t have time to do the wind test but everyone still had heaps of fun!
