Shark infested custard team building task
What interpersonal skill did you use today? We used our team working skills.
How did it help with the success of the activity? That we worked together by putting a hoop on the ground three people stepped into the front hoop and the other two people steeped from the back hoop into the middle hoop someone in the middle hoop without dragging it or stepping out of the hoop pick it up and pass it to the people in the front hoop they put it in front and we kept moving into the hoop in front until we reached the end.
Who did you work with that went well today? Today I worked well with my entire group Patrick, Isiah, Maddie and Quaiden.
If you were to do it again, how would you do it differently? If I was to do it again I wouldn't drag the hoop or step out of it because we then had to go back to the start because we would have got "bitten by a shark"

Drawing task Health
What Interpersonal skill did you show/use today? The interpersonal skill that I used today was communication. Communication helped today so that we could draw the image the other person had in their hand.
How did it help with the success/lack of success, of the activity? It helped with the success that we were explaining the drawing clearly and if we were confused then we asked questions so that we had a clearer idea of what to do.
Who did you work with that went well today? Today the person that I worked well with was Toni.
If you were to do it again, how would you do it differently? If I were to do it again I would do it so that I have more time so that I don’t have to rush it as much.

Health week 4
Whare Tapa Wha is about hauora and the four different dimensions. The four dimensions are Taha Wairua,
I participated well. I completed this by making a playdough model that represents all of the values and a Whare Tapa Wha. And a 3D paper model of a Whare Tapa Wha.
I coped with the challenge by working hard and asking for help when I needed it.
