Last week in Health class, our Grade 2 students explored the importance of teamwork and how working together can help us achieve shared goals. We started by talking about where we see teams in everyday life—like in sports, families, and even classrooms!
We discussed what makes a good team, learning about qualities like:
- Kindness
- Listening
- Helping
- Sharing
- Respect
- Patience
To put these ideas into practice, students took part in a fun and challenging activity: moving a balloon from one chair to another—without using their hands! 🎈
They had to work in pairs or small groups, using their bodies and communication skills to complete the task. Some groups even faced extra challenges like obstacles or multiple balloons!
It was wonderful to see students encouraging each other, laughing, and problem-solving together.
