2nd term week 6 on Thursday our 1HPE class participated in a challage that required affective communication co-operration and creativity and trust to be able to complet the task. said task was to build the highest and most stable Tower. our team included Kuhkura, jarias, Nataaliyah Anita Hirini and myself Hirni and Jaris being absent at the time. What we were given to build this Tower was a a scissors, Ballons, 6 plastic cups, chop stick. 6 straws and some tape.
When giving the task the first thing we did was discuss what we were going to do and how we would tackle this challage. surprisingly we didn’t need to talk for long coming to a conclusion of how we were going to construct our Tower. the structure of the plan being to but a cup up normally with a balloon in the cup then tape the cup to the table for stability and then tape the balloon to the cup. when done with the base we countied this cycle of stacking cip apon balloon untill we reached a hight it became unstable. when we got to that point instead of going for hight we tried many tactics to stabilize the tower. Those tactics being taping the base of the structure more, putting straws on the side of the Ballons to keep it leaning right or left to straighten the tower. In the end we won by our Tower being higher then the rest and staying up untill the end.
How this affect our kotahitanga as a group and unified us more by making us co-operate and plan around challages. what I feel really worked for our group was that no one had certainet task we all had the image of what we whated to build so we didn’t have to command anyone to do anything we. nether did I fell like anyone was in charge of the group since everyone had a role always at all times. This challage I know our Co-operation trust and unity really came through for this challage that’s also why we got the dub in the end.
