LI: To work as a team

This week we were learning to be co-operative as a team. We did this by playing an energiser and activity which were called Code breaker and Corn, Chicken Fox. This effected our learning by how we needed to work as a team to break these puzzles.

The Energiser taught us to give our team ideas so they could crack the code. To play, there were 9 hula hoops and 2 teams. 1 member from each team went first and they had to step in any of the hoops to figure out the first part of the code. When Mr H called "Ding" then it meant that it was correct and they could take another Step. If Mr H Called "Err" then it meant it was incorrect and one person from the other team got to take a turn. The Game would finish when a team cracked the full code.

Next was our Activity. We were put into groups and we had to figure out a riddle. We had to figure out how to get corn, chicken and fox over to the other side of the river without the chicken eating the corn or the fox eating the chicken. You can only take one at a time. Answer: Take the chicken over, then take the fox over then swap it with the chicken, then take the corn over and swap it with the chicken then take the chicken over. Therefor the chicken hasn't eaten the corn and the fox hasn't eaten the chicken.

This week was all about being a co-operative team member. These games taught us to work positively and be a good team.
