Team Building

So it has been a fun week! Below are some pics of the fun we had with our team building activities. We have been learning about constructive criticism and the growth mindset. I have to admit, we make a pretty good team!

The first challenge: Form 2 groups and fill a vessel using only 2 soup spoons. First to fill wins! Sorry left group for spilling your container :0

 Second challenge: Using 6 knives and 6 marshmallows, suspend the knives off the surface using the marshmallows. Then I took away 1 marshmallow at a time until they only had 2 left to use! Even then some groups continued trying with ONE marshmallow, great effort Ruma Whā Whanau!

Day 1!

Lots of fun team building activities completed today :) Be sure to ask your kiddos what they've been up to! This one involved 8 team members devising a way finding a way to keep 4 balls moving and in the air.

Our "hand" made Christmas tree ( LOL see what I did there... hand! ) It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas in Ruma Tahi!

Super Squirrel

“Aaaaaaah. The city’s running good and I can relax, haaa.” Super squirrel declared. Everything was going good. The luscious green grass flowed in the direction of the wind, yellow flowers dotted the grass, and brown leaves danced off Super Squirrels tree lair... but little did Super Squirrel know that Doctor Stoat was sketching up a NEW, EVIL, PLAN!!! 

Back at his lair (/hole) Doctor Stoat was successfully sketching up blue prints. “Haha, my EVIL PLAN IS BOUND to work! I shall rule this park in no time! MUAHAHAHAHAAAA, MUAHAHAHAHAHAA, cough cough) My plan has three easy steps, and one back up plan, and if this doesn’t work I'm stuffed! Ok...

“I am so legit” said Doctor Stoat. Unexpectedly Super Squirrel dropped through the door. “Mmmhmm, that’s what you think!” replied Super Squirrel sassily.

“Super Squirrel! How’d you find me?”

“Are you seriously asking me that question? You live in a hole under my tree!”

“It’s a laaaair.” Doctor Stoat said sarcastically as he rolled his eyes. This fight went on and on until finally Super Squirrel kicked his butt (Doctor Stoat just kept trying to talk his way out of it).

Two hours later… “ Oh good, you’re awake.” Super squirrel said.

“You’re so predictable S.S!” Doctor Stoat replied

“No nicknames! you're at Super S.H.Q (Super Squirrel Head Quarters). Suddenly Doctor Stoat inappropriately started singing “You used to call me on my cellphone" ”No singing!!!” Super Squirrel shouted.

Super Squirrel called the BOYS to take him away. As they dragged him on the cold stone floor he screamed…  “NOOOOOOOOO!!!”

Super Squirrel wondered if Dr Stoat would manage to escape someday? Then he said  “Naaaa, not with these guns!”
