The Amazing Race

07.02.20

The students in 4/5 Blue and 6 Red have been working together to make connections, build relationships and develop a sense of belonging to a learning community. The students have participated in a variety of different activities to support the development of skills in this area. Students engage best when provided with meaningful social contexts, that also have a specific learning focus.

Some of these activities included…

  • Simple STEM challenges – building a tower with cards
  • Partner and group games
  • Small Group brainstorming
  • Opportunities to share
  • Creating “signposts” for our learning
  • Creating posters promoting “Behaviours that Support Learning”
  • Art activities
  • Team tasks – The Amazing Race

Included are some of our highlights from our very own AMAZING RACE. This activity challenged us to find a way to use Route Information to locate specific locations around the school and work together to complete Roadblocks and Detours along the way to our final Pit Stop.

The last 2 weeks have seen our students in the Senior Unit develop a greater understanding and appreciation of the diverse skills, abilities and knowledge we each bring. The foundations are in place and the building of a strong, cohesive unit has begun.
