After designing and planning, groups of children in Class LP and PC set to work this afternoon to build their air raid shelters (a big thank you to parents who brought in cardboard).
The work brief was as follows:
- To build an air raid shelter using plans and measurements.
- Work as a team.
- Listen to the ideas of other people.
- Make sure that the construction is strong and stable
- Assign a role to each person to ensure that construction is efficient.
Some of the most important things have been underlined.
Here is our winning team! Members successfully ticked all the different parts of the work brief and demonstrated excellent teamwork, outstanding listening skills and a super ability to carry out the roles that they were given.
A job which has been done very well indeed.
The air raid shelter may not look pretty, but it is as solid as a rock!
After our construction afternoon, members of all teams got together and evaluated their work. They praised eachother for what they had done well and decided how they would do things differently next time. Pupils also gave themselves a personal target including:
- To be a better listener.
- To consider the ideas of others.
- To persevere when things get tough, rather than giving up.
- To be more willing to put forward ideas to a group.
After an afternoon of building, the children got to know themselves a little better too!
