In Year 3 we have been realising not only the FUN, but also the importance of working together. Whether it is with one person, a group or the class. When set a task that involves working with others, we realised we had to think about a few things. For instance:
* To listen with open ears to the ideas and points of view of others.
* To share and participate – make sure we do our bit!
* To show respect to other people’s ideas, strengths and weaknesses – we can’t be good at everything!
* To recognise when things are going well or not so well – do we need a new plan?
* To celebrate the successes of all members of the team.
* To be prepared and recognise that sometimes things don’t work out the first time, that’s ok, we can just try again and even try another way!
Take a look at some of the things we have achieved ‘together’ in Year 3. We used our ‘working together’ skills admirably and even managed to have a little bit of fun too…
Together, we used our hand prints to produce a special Year 3 painting; we managed to paint an ancient Egyptian sphinx, and a pyramid; we made a class dream catcher to catch our dreams; we designed a ‘grateful’ poster to stick onto our Gratitude Box; we even managed to wear cool sunglasses when trying to make a beam of light travel around the class room – now that was a challenge! Super job Year 3! Team work, works wonders!
