Pine Tree took on some interesting team building skills this week during PE. The children were arranged standing on a bench. They had to ordered themselves in order of various categories e.g. height, age, the number of their houses etc. The rules were: they were not allowed to fall off the bench otherwise they would have to start again, they had to communicate with each other and they had to support each other.
After a few tries, some teams needed some help so we introduced a wall to hold onto or a mat to step onto. The children agreed this made it easier. They understood the importance of communicating with each other, not all talking at once and supporting those who needed it. Year 4 will be taking on some more team challenges throughout this term!
