Today the children have been developing their team working skills during a variety of different experiences.
We played ‘Feed the Teddy’ on the Promethean Board and worked together as a team to count up to 5 cakes to feed the teddy.
“That’s number 5 like my fingers, I have 5 fingers”
“Teddy is eating 5 cakes”
Next some of the children worked on a new painting technique, they had lots of fun mixing different colours in the shaving foam, and printing it on to the paper. The children made their own individual pieces and also worked together making larger prints.
“hold this side, I’ll get that one”
“1,2,3 down”
Finally some of the children were working together to build a garage for the cars. They built ramps for the cars to go up and down, and roads for the cars to drive on.
“Can you put that long plank up there so the cars can drive down”
“I put this one up here to stop the ramp falling”
Children develop very important life skills when working as part of a team such as problem solving, leadership and communication skills which they will need as they grow into adults.
