Digging Holes

A consensus was reached quickly today that our Friday adventure would be digging holes at the beach.  The challenge was laid down.  Which team would be able to bury a team member.  The learning goal....work together in a group of Mrs Feron's choosing to complete a task.  The problem.  Lyp Sync is tonight and some of us couldn't go home and clean up before performing.  Oh well too bad.  Lets live in the now.

Now we are buried!

Friday Adventures: Crawlie Hunting.


The first of our Friday adventures was walking down the stream looking for crawlies.  We found one eel, one dead rotten chook and lots of rubbish.  I think we need to do some research on the habits of crawlies.   We all enjoyed exploring anyway.  Some of the students followed a side stream up to a waterfall they didn't know existed.

Hut Building on the Beach

I have decided that period 6 on a Friday is going to be time to have adventures.   This will be Room 6's time to do wacky, crazy and fun things.   Today we spent 30 minutes at Collingwood Beach working in teams to build huts.  The students were challenged to build a hut that could hold all of their group.  We arrived at the beach and the students raced to claim the best hut building spot and supplies.  Frantically dragging wood, digging holes and building their huts the students raced to build their huts in the short time available.

It was fantastic to see the student working together, communicating and problem solving while enjoying themselves.
