Taskmaster Wall of Fame!
Date: 16th Feb 2023 @ 11:31am
Last week was Children's Mental Health Week and in 3JH we learned all about how to make connections through the Taskmaster Challenges. We worked as teams to share ideas and create lots of pieces of work along the way!
Day 1: Today's task was to make a rainbow. The children all reached for the paper and felt-tips BUT soon realised that they needed to MAKE a rainbow. They then set off again with resources they could find in the classroom... We had numicon rainbows, cube rainbows, felt-tip rainbows. They did a fantastic job and I was so impressed with their communication and team work skills.
Day 2: The task for day 2 was to come up with a new outdoor game that used one piece of equipment and had 3 rules. This got their imaginations going and children started to come up with some amazing ideas. They voted within their groups for their favourite game and got to work writing the rules!
Day3: The children and I really enjoyed Day 3's challenge. They had to make a self-portrait from things they could find outside. I set them a time for 5 minutes to gather as many things as they could for their self-portrait and then they had a go at making themselves on the playground! Faizan did declare at one point "This is too hard - I don't know what I look like!" this was obviously recieved with puzzled looks from everyone else but he did a great job in the end! Did anyone spot their child's self-portrait at pickup?
Day 4: I think this was the favourite of the tasks! The children choreographed a whole-class dance! They then performed it in my assembly the next morning to all of Year 1, 2 and 3! The children and teachers were really impressed and it inspired lots of them to do the same!
Day 5: Dress to express day was fantastic! The children loved expressing themselves through their outfits and the challenge for the day was to make a hat to wear with their outfit. We had hats with doors on them, hats with names and Noah even crowned himself King for the day!
The final challenge was to find the connection in the treasure hunt. We had looked for clues all week and found a series of numbers... I am delighted to announce... WE DID IT! We solved the connection and we made it onto the wall of fame!!
