Hut Building for Adventure Learning!!

Room 2 have worked very hard to develop their ability to work as part of a team and to plan effectively together. Today they finally got to put their plans into action and build their huts. After they had built their huts and spent some time playing in them, we sat down together and reflected on our learning. Here is what Room 2 came up with...

What we learnt

We learnt to share our ideas with each other and work together. We had to think creatively and problem solve when we didn't agree. We designed our huts and then when we were building them we had to check that they looked like our plans.

What we found challenging

We found building the hut to look like our plan challenging. Finding the things that we needed and moving some of the furniture was also hard. It was hard when people were thinking of their own little plan and not working together. Getting the sheets to stay over the furniture was also tricky!

What we enjoyed

We enjoyed designing our huts and building our huts. We also liked playing in them. It was fun to work with lots of other people and to take photos. Some people also liked making there huts look like a pirate ship.

What we would do differently next time

We would find a way to make the inside of our hut darker and maybe not have it by the windows next time. Some children also said they would make their hut smaller so that the sheet would fit over the top better and not fall off so easily. Other children decided that next time they would make a bigger hut so that more of their friends could fit inside. Some groups said that they would work better as a team, share more and try to remember to talk nicely to each other when they don't agree on the same idea.

I am so proud of everything that you have achieved during our Adventure Learning time Room 2. You are learning how to work together, plan effectively and how to reflect on your learning. It won't be long before you will be ready to start your own projects. Keep up the awesome work.
