Tug O War

Yesterday a mystery arrived at our doorstep. What was it we all wondered? 

It sat in the huge crumpled box sad and lonely, waiting to be played with. It looked like a long stretchy snake coiled in a damaged box. We lined up in a straight line ready to go outside in the hot hot sun. We wondered how long it was so we laid it down and had a guess how long it was. We used our feet to roughly measure the tug o war rope. After we guessed how long it was Floyd measured it with the meter wheel. It was 30 meters long!! We found half way on the tug o war rope and tied a ribbon onto the halfway mark. We had a battle with the other half of the class. We pulled as hard as we could like a truck pulling a heavy car out of the sticky mud. The ribbon rapidly flew past the other team's blue cone TWICE!!! NO!!!! We lost.
