Naghol Land Divers.

While learning about festivals in other cultures, we looked at the Naghol Land Divers of Pentacost Island in Vanuatu.

We watched a little video about how they jump off towers made of sticks with only two vines strapped to their ankles. We thought it probably wasn't a good idea to try bungee jumping off our playground! So instead, we created mini towers out of straws and used little plastic wind up sumo wrestlers to bungee jump off them. The trick was to try and build the tower so that the jumper would not quite hit the ground. So of us came up with some very clever ways of making this happen.
