This week our class were given a technology challenge to complete.  Our task was to create a pikau or backpack.  All we were allowed to use was:

  • 15 double sheets of newspaper
  • 1 vivid pen
  • 1 sticky label
  • 2 A4 sheets of card
  • 1 roll of sticky tape
  • scissors

We worked in groups and we had 30 minutes to complete the task.  Mrs Kerr who was in our class was very impressed with how we worked together and to create our backpacks and we had a lot of fun.
