Clay Sculpture Reflection

In Room 14 we have been focusing on this terms focus creative explorers. so we got an ice-cream container with our name on it. we got a lump of clay inside of it. The name of my clay sculpture is called the roaring lion. Te message that I want to give the viewer is that lions always and watch out they might eat you!!! So be careful. what I have I have enjoyed working with the clay so far is making the pinch pots and starting to make our clay sculptures. The trickiest part of working with clay is putting everything together and wedging the clay.

Collaboration

Our big idea for this term was collaboration. My favourite collaboration activity that we did this term was the straws and tape one. Mrs Gunn gave us half a pack of straws and two rolls of cellotape and two pairs of scissors. Then we had to work together as a team and try and make something out of the straw and tape. It was really hard but  easy when we worked as a team. I enjoyed this activity the most because we worked together as a team most of the time but we had a few arguments during the activity that we were doing. I think the police officer was the best role because she made sure that the group stayed on task and got everything that we needed and we didn't argue at all times. The most difficult role that I thought would of been the CIA Agent because all he did was come back and told us that another was doing the same idea as us.

Team building at Karapiro

On Tuesday we went to Karapiro and did some team building challenges as a team. We did these challenges so we could learn how to work together as a team. The kayaking was the hardest because we got to learn how to kayak and play some fun games. Archery was a fun activity because when I would try to aim at the target and than when I let the arrow go it would always miss the target. The adult that helped me was Raywin because she helped me at archery and how to aim properly. I learnt how to work as a team. The challenges that my group faced were trying not slow down and to carry on with the challenge that we were facing.
