Inquiry | Hoop Rush

LI: To create a co-operative game.

This week for inquiry we had to create a co-operative game that a group can play. We had to choose a piece of equipment and create a game using that object. Our object was hula hoops. We made a game were we split up people into two groups. Each group had three cones in front of them. The first cone closest to the teams is worth 5 points, the cone in the middle is worth 10 points and the furthest cone to the teams are worth 15 points. Our game went fairly well but it didn't have a big chunk of co-operation. I enjoyed playing other peoples games.

Kiwi Can | Co-Operation

LI: To co-operate with people.

This week for kiwi can we were learning how to work as a team and use co-operation. We first talked about what co-operation meant. Co-operation is when you work as a team to achieve something and failing as a team and achieving as a team. We then started our energizer.

Our energizer was called "Opposite Actions". To play this game we had to do the opposite of what Ms. Paige was doing. For example: If Ms. Paige said to put you hands up you keep your hands down. After that we played our activity.

Our activity was called "Command". To play this we had to go to Mrs. Mak and she would tell us a task to do. We got divided into four groups of six and a person in the group had to go to Mrs. Mak to find out what the task was. Our fist task was for the girls to do ten star jumps and the boys had to do ten sit ups. The first team to complete the tasks gets a point.

I really enjoyed this session and like our new topic.
