How tall can you build with six sheets of newspaper?

Year 5 pupils standing proudly beside their tall tower made from rolled newspaper and masking tape

Year 5 were set a tricky challenge in Health and Wellbeing this week. Each group got six sheets of newspaper and a roll of masking tape. The job? Build the tallest tower they could.

It was all part of a lesson on working together, and what it really takes for a team to succeed. So there were Dojos up for grabs for the tallest tower, and for the team that showed the best teamwork.

There were some really creative ideas, and every group worked well together. Not bad for a few sheets of newspaper.
