Taskmaster in MS

For our Hitcham's Hundreds, Class MS attempted to complete 100 Taskmaster Tasks in one day. Set by Mr Snowden in the role of The Taskmaster, the tasks tested us in a variety of different ways; challenging our drawing, writing, physical, balance and problem solving skills. Some of them were completed over several hours whereas others only gave us a short time to think before having to come up with an answer.

Tasks completed today included:

Task 8: Without removing your pen from the paper, draw the most ambitious animal. Most recognisable ambitious animal wins. 


Task 18: Make the most realistic person out of clothes not being worn. You may not appear yourself. You have 6 minutes. 


Task 28: Choose a person in your group. Make the longest line of things that start with the same letter as that person’s name. You have 4 minutes.


Task 36: Make the tallest book tower. If your tower falls, you will fail the task. Tallest freestanding book tower wins.  


Task 69: Cut out the best snowflake using a single sheet of paper. Best snowflake wins.


Task 70: Repair the piece of paper used to make your snowflake. You have 2 minutes. Most complete repair wins. 


Task 86: Retell ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ using only noises. You must not act or say any words. You have 4 minutes. 


Mr Snowden also set us a task to be completed at home:

                   Task 76: Do a random act of kindness for someone at home.

        You must do it this evening and provide evidence of the act tomorrow                                 morning.  


Although we did not quite manage all of the tasks today, we are hoping to complete the remaining few over the next few days to earn our sponsorship money.


Here is a selection of photos completing some of the tasks above as well as a few others:
