The Paperclip Challenge

We are learning to work together with people other than our friends when we work in small groups in Room 11. We are trying our best to encourage and support each other by using kind words.

We had lots of fun completing a team-building activity today. We had a race to see which group could create the longest paperclip chain in five minutes. However, it wasn't as simple as it sounds! There were some rules: there couldn't be paperclips of the same colour next to each other and, the tougher rule, we were only allowed to use one hand. The other hand had to stay behind our back!

Check out the photos to see what an amazing job we did working together on this challenge. We did lots of talking to come up with strategies to work together to try to complete the task. We soon realised that everyone has an important part to play when we are working in a small group.
