Anzac day technology challenge

On Friday the 23rd of April years 4, 5 and 6 did a technology challenge. We had to make a poppy as wide, tall and good looking as we can with a small stack of newspapers, some scizzers, 4 a4 pieces of red and black paper, 10 metres of tape and a ball of green string. We got ourselves into teams of five and was given about 45 minutes to complete our poppy. Once all the teams had finished the judges went around and got us to talk a little bit about our poppy and how we made it. There were lots of different designs: some were as high as the roof, some were 3D, some were small but high detailed and some were tall and wide. The judges decided on two "highly recommended" and one overall winner. The first highly recommended poppy was made by Briar Lomas, Eru Craig, Kiarn Couling, Olivia Crookshank and Claire Keven. Their poppy had string for a stalk and the flower was 3D. The second highly recommended was made by Finley Savage, Shanae Woolley, Briar Woolley, Ethan Tischik and Kiarnen Dudding. Their poppy was about 1 metre tall but it was quite high detailed. The winning poppy was made by Daniel Richards, Aimee Stevens, Luke Stevens, Holly Danks and Nyah Railey. Their poppy was quite big and was the widest poppy there. They also cut out all the green they could find in the newspaper and taped it onto the stalk.
