The Cable Car Experiment

In this challenge Tyler was the winner because his balloon was big and had enough air in the balloon to travel 8m. Fine's cable car travelled the shortest distance with 3 metres. I think she was the shortest because she didn't had enough air in the balloon. Kifi, Miss Chapman, Piripi and Pace had the same distance with a total of 7 metres. My distance was 7.25, I think I did good.

Room 5's Paper Plane Challenge

Today we had a challenge on whose plane could fly the furthest. Piripi's plane flew the furthest with the total of 11.16 metres because he threw it smoothly. San Tat's plane was thrown at the shortest distance which was 2 metres. I threw my paper plane in between Piripi and San Tat's, with a total of 7.89, and nobody had the same measurement.

The Mintie Challenge: How long is your wrapper?

Hi this is the Mintie Challenge and we were trying to make the longest Mintie wrapper. My wrapper was only 44 cm and same as Alazay. The longest wrapper was San Tat and his wrapper was 97cm.
