# Tower building

One of the challenges in Oak Class this week is to build the tallest structure out of cubes and lolly sticks.  But there can only be one cube at the base.

This is a very fiddly challenge and has been brilliant for helping develop fine motor skills.  It is also very tricky, and we have been using it to help promote resilience.
