team building fun

Team Building

For the last two weeks we have been participating in team building skills with Matua Shane durng our PE time. We have included some photos.
The first challenge was to move a ball from one end of the turf to the other without using our hands. It was tpough but we fianlly got it!!
Then we had to move the ball as a team without using our arms and legs - that was really difficult.
Hope you enjoy our photos as much as we enjoyed participating in it.
