(Henry Ford) Class 4 had a fun-filled first day back as they were challenged to build the tallest tower using only spaghetti and marshmallows. The children had to use many important skills such as: listening, patience, perseverance, leadership, steadiness, care, clear speaking and concentration. Each group worked incredibly well together and I was extremely proud of everyone. Unfortunately, some of the towers collapsed before we had the chance to measure them as the marshmallows became very soft and sticky, however, the children did not let this dampen their spirits and we were very proud of the winning team. Well done to Maddie, Liam, Ebony-Rose, Alexander, Millie and Beth for building the tallest spaghetti and marshmallow tower in C4. ![](https://aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/images/Class%204/BeFunky-collage_(2).jpg) ![](https://aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/images/Class%204/BeFunky-collage_(3).jpg) Take a closer look at our photos in our [photo gallery!](https://www.aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/photo-galleries/autumn-term-1-2018-2) [Art and Design ](https://aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/blog/tag/art-and-design) [ Performance Poetry](https://aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/blog/2018-07-04-10-40-32-performance-poetry) [The Spaghetti and Marshmallow Challenge ](https://aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/blog/2018-09-03-16-45-00-the-spaghetti-and-marshmallow-challenge) ### Comments ##### Poppy *18 September 2018* Making these structures were challenging and a little messy but i still really enjoyed creating them and I noticed that if anyones structure fell down they would persevere. ### Leave a Comment ![Aberford C of E (VC) Primary School ](https://files.schudio.com/aberford-primary-school/images/logo/logo-footer(4).png) ### Aberford C of E (VC) Primary School School Lane, Aberford Leeds, West Yorkshire LS25 3BU 0113 2813302 0113 2813302 ### Useful Links - [About Us](https://aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/our-school/school-day) - [Term Dates](https://aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/term-dates) - [Admissions](https://aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/our-school/admissions) - [Contact Us](https://aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/contact) ### Social Media - [X](https://twitter.com/AberfordPrimary) ### Translation © Copyright 2016–2026 Aberford C of E (VC) Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
