Room 13 Mini Challenges

Our concept this term has been Challenge. Mrs Wendt set us some fun mini challenge activities i.e. domino runs, juggling, sled skiing, balance board, string games, origami, computer activities(agent ani, questionaut), and elastics. We had to use skills such as persistence, resilience, risk taking, and problem solving to overcome the challenge.

Juggling Challenge

Lots of classes made their own juggling balls with balloons and rice. Making the juggling balls was the first challenge. The next challenge was to actually learn how to juggle. Some people have become expert jugglers. How did they manage to do this? The Habits of Mind of PERSISTENCE and RESILIENCE springs to mind. Our expert jugglers kept trying and didn't give up. These habits can be applied to any situation - school work, sport, learning a musical instrument or learning any new skill. Here is a link to Room 19's blog showing Finn D juggling.
