Team Work Makes The Dream Work

One of the goals for this week has been to think about what helps us work together as a team, in our class.

Learners had to work in groups and try and find a way to make the longest piece of paper from one A4 sheet.

They had five minutes to consult with their group and plan their strategy and then 10 minutes to make the longest strip they could.

The results were interesting! But what really came out was what things help us work together in groups.

Learners came up with concepts like :

Contributing
Sharing ideas
Using everyones ideas
Talking to each other.

Combined with some work we did last week on how we like to be treated as individuals, the learners will take these words and ideas and make feathers for our class Korowai, which will represent the things we say and do as a class that help us to look after each other, learn and grow.
