Term 2 - Week 1

 Mission accomplished!  We worked together to make our giant poppy to go on the tī kōuka wall space in the hall.  

You can see how tall it was.....much bigger than our practise ones.

Along the way were learned that 

every one needs to do their jobs, that you don't always get to do the job you wanted to do, that you need to encourage (and sometimes re-focus) your group, that it is important to keep an eye on the time, that you must communicate and check that everyone know what they are doing...otherwise different people can accidentally double up and end up doing the same part twice (yes...this did happen).

 We began our football (not soccer...our coach doesn't like it being called soccer) coaching.

 The challenge:  Use three sheets of newspaper and some cellotape to make a model of a poppy.

The time limit was 25 minutes and teamwork was a focus.

Well done tī kōuka!

Next challenge...make a much bigger one as a class, with colour,  to put on display in the hall for assembly on Friday (ANZAC theme).
