Spaghetti, Newspaper and Garden Cane Pioneering

On the positive side, the catapults were really quite good and the unused marshmallows were enjoyed.

On the other hand, to be honest, not the most impressive building I've ever seen.  The spaghetti and marshmallow towers barely got 2 lengths of spaghetti tall and those that did didn't stay that way for long.

Only one paper bridge could actually hold the tin, never mind any water that we had hoped to load the bridges with.  A bridge that needs to be supported by holding it up, even after the full 50 metres of sticky tape has been used, is never going to win.

The catapults were definitely the best result with the winning design sending the missile the full length of the hut.

I think everyone had fun and that was the main thing.
