Team 5 Building

                                                          Team 5 Building


Today I started off as a year 8 student helping the year 7's out to start off with their team building for this term, as the year 8's had headed off to camp. Some of the year 8's didn't get the chance to go on camp because they weren't allowed to or other various reasons. To start the day off with year 7 and some year 8 students, our team 5 teachers called out our names to get into 3 groups so that we could decide what out group names would be called. The first group was called  Pt England O.G the second group was called the crazy horses and last at not least was the little homies.



Our first activity was all about investigating a crime scene like investigating treasure or solving riddles. This activity is similar to what our school theme is which is I LIKE YOUR LATTITUDE. Lattitude is the angular distance of a place North or South's equator. We had really fun participating in this first activity.Our next activity was a minute to win it, first, our job was to practice bottle flipping, stack the cups, and last at not least trying to blow the cups off the table by using a balloon, once we finished practicing we went into a real game. We found this game really challenging and skill full but mostly fun. I liked how the teachers presented this game for our year 7 and 8's to play.



Our last activity was making coconut truffles we were making these with our teacher Mrs. Ilaoa.To start off we had to get into groups of 5 people we were then told to wash and clean our hands before starting. When we finished we got given biscuits a medium bowl and some condensed milk and also a spoon. We opened the packets of biscuits and crushed them all up leaving a few chunks left then moving on we added the condensed milk and steered it at the same time then grabbed one cup of cocoa powder and 3/4 of chocolate ships stirring it all together then we added coconut flakes and rolled it onto the plate then covered it all in coconut flakes then we took it to Mrs. Ilaoa to bag it. My group had so much fun making these coconut balls and it was so delicious.



My favorite highlight about this team 5 building was getting to make truffles with Mrs. Ilaoa and my group I also loved participating in the games that Mrs. Moala and whaea Kelly gave us to do. My last highlight from team 5 building was celebrating the last day eating junk food without the year 8 students.
