Room 8 does Team Building

Room 8 does Team Building

Room 8 worked together in teams to construct a triangle of cups. We had to work together and move each cup one at time until the cups were balanced on top of each other.

We learned that teams become great when they talk about how they will do the construction before they do it. We also learned that we need to be patient and not just think about ourselves. We have to listen to others and work with them.

Here is Landon working with his team to build a tower.

Team Building out on the Field

Everyone got into a different group and talked about the best way to get a golf ball from one side of the field to the other side without dropping it.  Our team leader lead the team for this activity. We were inspired by the chart about leadership below. If we dropped it we would have to start all over again. Each team member held a string and together we carefully walked forwards, pausing if we needed to. The winning team listened to each other and won the race!

Each fortnight Matua Derek has been coaching us in game skills such as Ki o Rahi. We really had to listen to the instructions and watch carefully as he drew the game plan on the whiteboard. It was a fast paced game!
