We spent the first part of the meeting planning our Master Chef competition and then we learnt about rope...
We discussed the different types of rope: sisal and nylon. How they were made: three strands wound together and many strands plaited. We discussed care of ropes and how to check if ropes are damaged or not.
And then we made rope...with toilet paper.
Two different ropes were made. One rope was three strands, plaited together and the other was five plaited strands tied together. The single plait held 2 litres of water and the five plaits held 5 litres and could hold more but we didn't have a big enough jug.
Was a really great meeting and every one learnt a lot.
