"Let's build this stretcher" I said as Katie said: "Go". Pearl, Clara, Violet and I started to build our technology challenge stretcher to hold four flour and sugar babies. We had twenty-two minutes to build four strong handles and a strong base. The equipment we had to do this was: Unlimited sticky tape, four metres of string, two full sheets of newspaper and one pair of scissors! So we got to work on our stretcher and before we knew it it was thirty seconds on the clock to go! Then Darryn started counting down "ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one STOP! I looked down at what we had created. It was not a bad effort and from twenty-two minutes to one second I had learnt that it is VERY hard to build a stretcher in that amount of time! Time to face the course I thought as we were walking over to the obstacle course. It didn't look too hard, but after I saw what we were up against I was worried sick! As everybody else had their turn, it was our turn. So Violet and Clara piled the flour and sugar babies onto our stretcher! As they started to lift it, all of the handles broke off and our chance of winning was 0%, oh well :(
