Walk of Challenge

Last week, our Amazing Kids were challenged to complete the Walk of Challenge as a team.  Two to three children were teamed up, with their legs tied together in a string. They had to find a way to walk together from one end of the classroom to the other end, without falling.  Some held each other's hand, some had a firm grip on a friend's arm and some had their shoulders around each other.  It was interesting to watch the children communicate with each other and how they supported each other in the challenge.  After that, we had a debrief to talk about how they felt and what they had learnt through this experience.  Many said that they learnt to work as a team and their feet is also a from of land transport.  After the debrief, the children created their personal foot or feet (some came up with a leg with two feet) using toilet rolls and coloured paper.
