Co-operative Activity - Hot Air Balloon Jigsaw

We know in Harakeke that it's important we work as a team this year because we need to look out for each other and really make a difference in each others lives.  So to help with this Mrs Harpur created a Hot Air Balloon Jigsaw activity to get us thinking and working together.  We were placed into two teams and given a piece of the jigsaw each (some worked in pairs).  As a group we had to put it together then work out the colour scheme.  Everyone shared their ideas.  Both teams opted for rainbow colours so that everyone could choose what they wanted which Mrs Harpur thought was a great compromise.  After colouring their designs it was then put together and a team photo added.  Our next task will be to create some statements to go with our hot air balloons to inspire us this year.

Well done team I was super proud of the way you managed to make sure everyone was involved and played a part in the making and design stages.  I can't believe there was no disagreements.  I can tell this year is going to be simply awesome with such a kind and considerate bunch of children.  Keep it up!     Mrs Harpur
