#ThrowbackTuesday

Now that I have permission to post some photos of your children, I want to share what we did on Thursday and Friday. :)

Thursday your Grade 6 children were amazing leaders as they took the new,shy and tired Grade 1s on a school wide scavenger hunt. I was so impressed with how they jumped right into this leadership role. Even our brand new students to the school took on this challenge! Way to go!!

There is one very tired Grade 1er!

Friday we did a team building activity called Spaghetti Towers. Teams were in groups and had to share ideas, come up with a plan, and then create the tallest free standing tower they could. There were given 20 strands of spaghetti, 2 marshmallows, 1 meter of tape and 1 1/2 of string. 
We brainstormed about what a TEAM is all about and came up with...
1) Working together 2) Group of people that achieve greater than themselves 3) Cooperation 4) Respect everyone/listen to all ideas 5) Have goals. 
There were many challenges that came with this task and they rose to the occasion!
