Today we have got into new groups for leadership week. In my group there Joseph, Fui and Te Pounamu. Together we created a paper plane design to see which plan could go the furthest. This DLO shows the Analysis of who won. My plane got the furthest by 9 meters. Then we went to the hall to see ou tof the year 7's who's plane would be the best design. Overall Chavda's plane would by 14 meters. Her plane managed to get all the way to the end of the hall. It was a good game. This challenged showed us that collaborating with each other would let us be successful.
