Creativity Challenge

        

This week we have been working on a creativity challenge. We have been working on opening a box with a feeling inside. First had to get into a group with 2 girls and 2 boys, we we had to work with the people that we had never work with before. In our group there was Hannah, Fran, Jack and Max.

Once we had been told what to do we made a list and We all had to decide on what feeling we were going to choose.  We had a great picture of what we were going to do.

Then Fran went to get the supplies that we needed to make the box while Hannah, Jack and Max made a plan for what are jobs would be.
When Fran got back we started to make the box.

1st we glued red paper to each side of the box and made sure we printed anger emojis.
2nd we glued the anger emojis to the inside of the box.
3rd we made the fire out of crepe paper and glued that to the bottom of the box.
4th we made little patches of glitter on the inside of the box.
5th we made little lightning bolts and stuck them to the top of the box.
6th Fran went crazy and glittered the whole sides of the box!
7th We printed some anger (from Inside out) photos from inside out and stuck them on the sides of the box. Then we decided we were done!

Then we were allowed to put our boxes in the other classroom so that we could do a chalk talk, which is where you are silent and write what you think the emotion is.

I think that we need to do more challanges in COLAB  like team building activities and things so that we get comfortable with working with boys and girls.

Rippa Nationals

Fun fact. I’ve never wanted to do rippa to be honest, but as soon as Mr R dragged me into trying out for rippa I actually had heaps of fun. I never thought that I would actually get in but when I found out I did I went crazy!


When we went to regionals I was so nervous the other team lost quarterfinals but we won the whole tournament and got to go to Nationals! Thanks Mr R I really appreciate that you push me into doing new sports and pushing me to be my best that I can be.


Anyway, I am so excited for Rippa Nationals. We get to stay at backpackers and we are staying 2 or 3 nights. The best thing is no parents stay in our cabins and we get to bunk with our best friends. YAY! I think we have a really good team this year and I hope we win. This is my first time doing rippa and i’m really excited, i've heard a lot about last year and it sounds fun, let's just hope that I don’t get homesick!
