Day 5 - Team Building with Neil and Rob

This morning we had lots of fun with Neil and Rob, during a team building activity.

When we arrived at the hall, we saw three stacks of tyres. We were put into teams and were told that we had to travel from one side of the hall to the other using only the tyres and try not to fall off into the 'Acid Swamp'.

During the activity Neil and Rob would blow a whistle and give us challenges. If they said Alligators, we had to work silently for 30 seconds. If they said Magic Trainers the leader of the team could walk through the acid swamp. There were also others such serpents, where we had to sing the Wheels on the bus, Gorillas where we had to reverse for 30 seconds and crocodiles which meant we had to sing and dance like Beyonce.


Most of the groups fell off the tyres which meant we had to start all over again. Michelle's group had to go back a number of times.... however, once Michelle left to do playground duty, the team suddenly became the best team and got to the other side before any one else! What does that tell us about Michelle?!

This activity helped us to realise it is important to work together at all times to achieve success (and if you can... don't have Michelle in your team!)























This afternoon we watched:


In the afternoon we watched the film 'Hoodwinked'. It was very funny and we enjoyed popcorn, marshmallows and chocolate rolls!

An excellent week was had by all!
