Research Tme

This week for inquiry, we were given a small challenge to complete. In this challenge we learnt the definitions of a need and want, the difference between them, how have they been met through a product or service, and how do we know when someone needs or wants something. With this knowledge we needed to get into small groups and create a DLO that fully explained everything we learnt. For this activity I worked with Jack, Te Pounamu, Joseph and Jonathan.

Leadership Challenges

Because this week is leadership all of the year 7 students have been working together to build or strengthen their leadership skills. The first task after getting into our groups was to answer questions and find solutions for problems like how to get students to only drink water. After that we all headed to the hall where in our groups of four we were told to create cubes out of diamonds, to do that we needed to cut out diamonds from different coloured sugar paper and then place them together to make the cubes. My group Aung Naing, Marieta, Te Pounamu and my self won the first round. In the second round the four groups were put joined into two and were given the same task, my team didn't win that time but it was still fun to do. The last things that we did were teamwork exercises where we needed to go from one side of the hall to the other by going under our teammates.
