Sneetches, Summit and Co-operation!

Whilst it's been a short week this week we have still managed to fit a bit in.

This week we have talked about co-operation and negotiation.  As part of this Sally set us the challenge of building the tallest tower that would hold 3 marbles.  However, when she split us up she gave some groups more newspaper to build their towers with, some more or better sellotape and some groups several pairs of scissors whilst others had none.  After this we talked about co-operating and negotiating with one another.
The Winning Tower!

We also talked about choices and peer-pressure this week. As part of this we enjoyed watching the Sneetches movie based on the famous book by Dr Seuss.

On Thursday two-thirds of our class participated in Summit Club. This is a special club at NCS for the Year Fives and Sixes.  Each Thursday lunchtime those who want to walk to the Centre of NZ. This is a 7km walk up to the summit which overlooks Nelson.  At the end of the year those who have completed at least 10 walks get to go on a tramp up Mt Arthur.
