Sec 2H - 1310 CLAY FIGURINES?!

Posted by: Victoria School, at: 2:11:00 PM

Class 2H, the most difficult class for us to track down. Their challenge venue was changed, however, we can safely say that their challenge was clay-solid. It was an original and innovative idea of creating 1310 clay figurines to be sold.

When we entered the room, the whole place was in a mess, with clay stains all over the place. But make no mistake, the students were clear in their objectives. Everyone was putting their heart and soul into their challenge, creating figurines of different shapes, sizes and designs. However, the whole class wasn't present. The moniter was absent for school, while the rest... we'll leave it at that.

Their challenge was by far one of the toughest we've came across and by 1pm, only an estimated 300 out of 1310 figurines were completed. The oven itself could only hold so many figurines at a time. Undaunted, spirits high, a few students sung a couple of songs in unison. Others were even having their share of fun by playing with the clay. Besides, isn't having fun part of the Victorian Challenge?


When asked if there was a possibility of working through the night, a student replied "Ah, no problem. 15 hours only!" Perserverance well defined, Victorians!
