Escape Rooms at the City Library

I was so lucky last Thursday to be able to take the Whakaaro students from Te Urungi to the Palmerston North City Library. Waka Curd, the Digital Technologies Librarian wrote a brand new Escape Room scenario for us called 'The Mentalist Mansion'. He used all our favorite things; treasure hunts, magic tricks, robots and secret codes! It was really fun for all the groups and gave them a great starting place for designing their own scenarios.

Whakaaro Week 3

Spy missions, escape rooms and construction are all on the agenda for this week. Our Kahurangi students undertook missions for the Kids Spy Network, solving puzzles and clues to achieve their missions. Heads were down concentrating the whole time!

The youngest Whakaaro members built a chair and added to their teamwork brainstorm. We talked about tone of voice when talking to team mates and the difference it makes when you speak kindly to one another in a pressure situation.

Great teamwork all round. Can the Navigator Centre fair as well on Thursday, when they tackle 'The Mentalist Mansion' escape room on our trip to the City Library??
