Last Friday Room 1 and 2 had an Outdoor Education day. In the morning we were put into groups to do some team building activities. One of the activities was called helium hoop. Each group was given a hoop and each child had to put two fingers on the hoop. It was important that we kept our fingers flat. Our challenge was to work together to get the hoop down to the ground. Something strange started to happen though! The hoop started to go higher and higher until we could hardly touch it anymore. This is why the activity is called the helium hoop. We worked out that we had to communicate with each other and move our bodies slowly closer towards the ground. The other team building activity was called Tangles. We had to hold onto two different people's hands and then work together to untangle ourselves. We all helped each other and learnt how important team work is. While some groups were participating in team building activities the other group was working in the garden with Ms Higgins. They even got to dig up some potatoes!
After lunch Miss Gentil had organised a Morningside Amazing Race for us. We were put into teams and each team was given an ipod. We used the QR reader on the ipods to scan the codes around the school. It was a similar challenge to our Easter egg treasure hunt. We had to take photos of each 'pit stop'. At the end there were prizes for the winning team. We finished the day with having a giant water fight. It was an awesome day!
