From the Leader of Learning Wellbeing Year 8
Teamwork Week!
In Week 6, Year 8 had great fun by being involved in activities that strengthened relationships in their Learning Groups and within their Families. During the Wellbeing lesson in both Week 6 and 8, students learnt the importance of Teamwork.
It states in Ecclesiastes Chapter 4, verses 9 - 10 the following about Teamwork;
“ Two can accomplish more than twice as much as one, for the results can be much better. If one falls, the other pulls him up; but if a man falls when he is alone; he is in trouble.”
Over the past fortnight, students considered everyone’s ideas when completing their set activities, they helped each other to achieve their goals and the projects utilized individual skills.
The Challenges were as follows:
- Monday - students had to upload a picture of what their Sporting House meant to them.
- Tuesday - students took part in a photo scavenger hunt.
- Wednesday - students needed to get into a team and create a dance or song or skit.
- Thursday - students had to write down or draw some family activities during Covid 19.
- Friday - students had to write down or draw something that they were proud of and grateful for in being a member of a Team.
I would like to thank Mrs Cooper for organising the Week 6 activities. Also the wonderful Year 8 Learning Advisors who always encourage their students to do their very best and go beyond.

It has been a difficult time for all but we are slowly returning to our normal lives. I think TEAMWORK WEEK came at the right time!
I also remember this saying;
“There is no “I” in Team”

Teamwork is making an effort to work collaboratively with a group of people in order to achieve a common goal and to complete a task in the most effective and efficient way. It is working together, with each person committed and working towards a specific goal.

This image represents teamwork as they are working together to reach the top and in our sense that hill is life and we should work together to reach the top.
The image represents that teamwork is the most important thing in the world and if we work together we will get through the struggles of life.
