Tallest Tower Challenge

Good morning, Cannon Park! For today’s challenge, I’d like you to build the tallest tower you can. You may wish to use Lego, Duplo, wooden blocks or even the blocks from Jenga – whatever you can find (with your grown-ups permission of course) to build your tower.

Key Questions

Would it help to plan our your tower?

Can you build a tower taller than your height?

How big is your tower? How could you measure the height?

How many blocks have you used?

How did you make sure it doesn’t collapse? Think about a strong base.

How many attempts did it take? What did you change each time?

You will definitely need our school values for this challenge, particularly teamwork if you’re working with a brother or sister! To extend your learning, research famous tall buildings around the world and create a factfile.

As always, send any photos to website@cannonpark.coventry.sch.uk if you are happy for them to go on the website.

Good luck!
