A Busy Wednesday
Today the Haepapa and Tautoko students were really challenged in their personal and time management as we worked super hard to get our Teach-a-Skill projects ready to present next week. You may find over the next few days that your child asks to 'teach' you their skill in preparation for teaching their small group next Wednesday. This is to be encouraged if you can make the time!
These groups also practiced their delivery skills, reading about "The Attack of the Vegetables" and buying elephants at the supermarket!
Epro8 Challenge
Then it was time for the Year 7/8 Epro8 students to meet and debrief about their competition success last week. A number of strengths were identified, but weaknesses were also spotted.

How did you decided what to do? Did you do it well?
Noah: We wasted 10 minutes on the (animatronic) dog but it was harder than we realised.
Axis: We choose what was easiest for the most points and what we could add to
Indi: We had good communication
Axis: On the balloon one we had too many cords and didn’t know what connected to which
Flynn: I made a sword!
What can you work on?
Indi: Being more focussed.
Axis: Make sure when you are done with something you pack it up.
Ayden: By using the strong structure we could have had something to use as a base for the other challenges.
Where to next:
Figure - it - outers
Choose the right path - choose the one that will give you the strong structure for building everything else on. Choose the challenge that can make you go the furthest.

Read the instructions so you don’t mess up your challenge and you know what to do.
