Hutt Central School sent us a Game about Responsibility

Students at Hutt Central School made a game about Responsibility. They sent the game to us. 

These are the aims of the game:
 

 This is us giving feedback about the game:

 

We loved the game and even played it during our lunch break!

and finally... *This is us in the girls bathroom!

*Our teacher made sure that there were no girls in the bathroom at the time!

Hutt Central play our game!

As part of our Inquiry, we made up our own games. We were very excited to receive 19 letters from Hutt Central School who played our game. 

Dear Hutt Central School,

Thank you so much for our letters.

It was really cool that you played our game. Thank you for all of the advice.

We will put the levels in to try and make our game more interesting.

We are glad that you found it simple to play.

We like how you said that it improves your accuracy. It improves ours too.

If you get a goal, you get a point. We need to include these in our instructions. The person with the most points win the game.

We like the suggestion that if we get a goal then you can give someone a dare.

From D, M and H

Inventing our own games

Today we began to design our own games. Our brief was that we had to make the rules simple and we could only use 2 pieces of equipment. 

We are hoping to send some of these games to other schools for students to trial. 

Please leave a comment if you are keen to collaborate...

Build a Castle Challenge

Today we had a Base Group (Tribe) Castle Challenge. Tribes were asked to build a castle and make a flag. They had to work together as a base group without any teacher input. Tribes had to decide on roles and responsibilities. They also had to decide on a name for their tribe. 

Tribes were given a spaces in the school as territories and were given some materials that they could use. They would have to negotiate with other tribes to have the necessary materials to build a safe castle. 

At the end of the day, we played "Capture the Flag."

It will be interesting to hear the reflections of the tribes tomorrow and how they link this to our Inquiry: People Power.
