Friday Challenge!

This term we are learning about the Habit of Mind Thinking Interdependently which means working together in a group.  Last Friday Room 5 came and joined us and we worked in groups of four people.  We were given 6 cups, four pieces of string and one rubber band.
Challenge: stack the cups up in a pyramid without touching the cups.
2nd Challenge: Stack the cups again but without the string mostly touching the cups.

We had lots of feelings throughout this challenge and lots of discussion about the skills we needed to have to work well as a team. We also looked at roles that people take in groups and why we need those roles.














Triathlon awards

Following the recent CSNS Triathlon, the awards for first second and third we presented at our first assembly for the year. A big congratulations to Muse, Ralph and Corbin who received certificates for their results. 


Forcesome Four is very proud of everyone for taking part and giving it their best effort. This was, for lots of us, our very first Triathlon and now we have achieved something very special.












Yesterday I did our Triathlon. It was easy peasy. First we did running on the CSNS field. After that we hopped on our scooters. I came 14th. I was very proud of myself. Last we did swimming. That was the best day ever. By Cooper


 


Yesterday I went to the school triathlon. I was exciting for the running and the biking. I was not happy because I was not the first. My favourite part was the swimming part. My prize is an apple and a drink bottle. What's your favourite part. I was running with the whole middle syndicate.By Haidar
