Shrinking Island

 On the first day of Term 3 In Te Ngahere we tried another Taskmaster challenge instead of getting straight into work this challenge was called shrinking Island. We had to get into groups of 4-5 for the first round of this challenge. The rules were simple, you had two sheets of newspaper and your whole group has to be able to fit on the island without holding onto anything. The next round was even harder because the island shrunk by halving the page.

 Once you think all your group are on the paper you are allowed to call to be judged. The teachers then count and you have to be able to all stand for 5 seconds. The challenge was to see how much your island can shrink before one of your group members falls or touches the floor. The group still standing with the small island wins.

After the first go we were allowed to try different groups. One of the biggest things we reflected on was that if you have big feet do not pair up with someone else with big feet but unfortunately some people still did that.

Have you ever tried a Task Master Challenge before?

  3. Hi Kahsius my name is Ahi from Ahipara school. I really liked when you tried to make your own island it looked very good to see. Maybe next time you could try fitting more people on your island to make it tricky for you and your friends. Good job and Blog ya later.
