Procedure
- Come up with an idea of some type of container/vessel you can make to protect an egg from the fall off the school roof.
- Draw your design on a piece of paper and get busy making it!
- Mark your name as big as possible on the outside of your container/vessel
- When it comes to the egg, the school will provide eggs on the day
- ONLY ALLOW YOUR CHILD BRING IN AN EGG
- IF DESIGN DOES NOT ALLOW THE EGG TO BE ADDED AFTER CONSTRUCTION OF THE CONTAINER AND IT WILL BE EASILY BROUGHT INTO SCHOOL (MR. BRENNAN WILL EXPLAIN THIS TO THE CHILDREN).
- AND IF YOU ARE DROPPING YOUR CHILD TO SCHOOL ON THE DAY THEY ARE BRINGING IN THEIR CONTAINER.
NO EGGS TO BE BROUGHT ON THE SCHOOL BUS.
