Waimarie Trip

Below are a few snaps from our Waimarie Riverboat Trip on Friday afternoon. It was great to experience a local attraction and learn about the Whanganui River at the same time.

Team Building

We have continued to practice our team building this week. We were split into teams and had to build the tallest tower. We were only allowed 5 pieces of newspaper and 1 meter of tape. It was hard to make the tower stand up. We had to work together and share our ideas. Keep watch for our next team building challenge.

Human Knot

Today as a team building activity we made human knots. We held hands across the circle, except for the person next to us. We had to use cooperation and make sure we were nice to each other, so that no one got hurt.

Day in the Trenches

We went at spent some time in the trenches, for real! We got an opportunity to have some free play time,  a couple of challenges and wrote diary entries. Here are a couple of stories we wrote the next day.

Sam Wrote this…

I am pretending I am a Turk. I am up on the hill taking cover. Gun fire is whistling past my head. I am frightened and I don't know if I have enough ammo. My friends are all dead. I wish I was at home. I've taken a bullet to the shoulder. I need a medic but I don't have a radio to contact one.  Then I see our medic running towards me.  I' m not alone.

Our First Challenge.

BANG, BANG goes the gun as we try to get the food in the really watery and muddy trench. We only had a rope and a piece of newspaper and the supplies on us. Jaxon says I will sacrifice myself for my team but he did not die or get injured he fell on the ground in the mud. He was all wet and muddy so we had to keep trying. We did not get the food, only two teams got the food. Luckily we got a ration packet and it had a ANZAC cookie in it. It was soft but nice!         

Last Terms Inquiry

Last term for our inquiry we learnt all about being friends. We decided for our 'So What, Now What' to create a video. What do you think?
