Top Teams 2021 Term 1

Today our school did the Top Teams challenge. We were split Into groups of six

and we did nine challenges, at the end they announced the winners and the top three. My 

favourite activity was the Burst Pipe where you had to float a small ball out of the pipe that had holes In It. The whole school gave It a go and all had a great time doing the challenges.
