Land Yacht Competition

Kia ora team,
After watching Room 6 do their awesome boat competition it was decided that Room 5 would also get in on the action and run a similar competition for the land. Please read on for rules and guidelines. Your craft may look something like this...

The competition:
* To be held on the netball court in week 4 of Term 2. (Or on a very windy day!)
* Entrants may push their craft away from the starting line and see how far it rolls.
* The craft which covers the greatest distance will be deemed the winner and will receive a prize.
* There will also be a prize for the most stylish craft and the most unusual (To be decided by vote)!

Construction guidelines:
* You may use any material you like to make your craft and there is no limit on size.
* Please write the name of your craft on the side of the body.
* Batteries and electrical motors / gasoline engines are not permitted to be used to power the craft, however any other kind of power is acceptable (such as wind and rubber band).
* All entrants will be recognised as having completed an academic challenge for their Te Waihora Challenge. Good luck!
