Trip to Early Years Campus!

Yesterday we had a fantastic afternoon over at the Early Years Campus. We were very lucky to be able to use their equipment to build three different types of shelters. The children worked in groups of 6 and moved around 3 challenges. The children found the first one to build a bit difficult but by the time they got to the second and the third shelter they were experts.

What I really noticed was how the children kept talking to each other and saying "Let's work together" It was really great to hear such positive comments. I asked each group as they came around my activity what makes a good team? 
Here are a few quotes from your amazing children....

"Being in a team is really fun!"

"It takes a lot of work"

"You have to listen to others"

"You need to take turns"

"You need to share your ideas and build on them together"

I was a very proud teacher today :-)

We did such a great job that we thought we deserved a bit of fun....
