We recently moved into new cooperative learning groups and have been working together on a range of activities. One task involved designing and making a shoe from scratch. This was particularly challenging as the shoe had to stay on and fit a member of each team. There was a time limit and each person had a role to carry out to help complete the task.

Although each group came across a number of problems they all successfully completed the task by making a strong and wearable shoe. Miss Thompson was so impressed she had to try them on…well the ones that were big enough.

You all came up with a unique design from trainer to slipper to sandal…they all looked fantastic! There was lots of cooperating going on within each group too. You were able to come up with a design by agreeing on one idea or by including an element from each person’s design. At the end each group had to evaluate their shoe and show it to the rest of the class. Well done P5!
