Team challenges

We have learned many important lessons, all through team-challenges.

Two, to be exact, one was finding a golf ball, which was hidden in the ground, somewhere on the giant field of Moorland Hall.

We were split into two groups, my group was Brainstorming ideas with Becca and Erin, on how to get the golf ball as fast as possible.

We had some pretty good strategies, like searching in lines, searching

In separate sectors, rolling on the ground, walking a spiral, etc.

Becca even got the Idea to bribe Jo to show where our ball was.

 At the end, we rated each Individual strategy from 1 to 10 out of ten, walking in lines was our winner, we had this plan: Every one of our group stood next to each other, then one of us shouted the amount of steps we should take forward.

We were the first group to find the golf ball first.


On our second coastal walk, we came across a lovely beach at a little town located on the north coast of Cornwall.

There our second team challenge took place: In groups of three, we had to build something out of stones, something we had encountered on our journey so far.

I, Ben and Dave constructed many different things: Brentor church, which we built on a staple of pebbles, ancient tombstones from the bronze age, the bubonic-plague-table, an ancient stone circle and, of course our accommodation, Moorland Hall itself.

The others did a great job as well; there was a mosaic resembling a turtle, a little coastal town and even a kingdom, including the walls, houses and towers.

Overall, it was quite cool and relaxing.

 

These challenges had the purpose of strategic thinking and improving our teamwork.

After all, they are essential skills that we will need later on, am I right.

Capture the flag

Have you ever heard of or played the game capture the flag? It’s basically a game you play on a big space with two teams. Every team has a flag and they have to steal the flag of the others. When we were in Moorlandhall, one evening Jo announced we would go play Capture the flag on the moor. Like always, we had time to change so we would be dressed appropriately for the activities. We already knew there was a lot of mud on the moor so we put on rain trousers and coats (as always). On the field there were also a lot of spikey bushes with yellow flowers and they where very dangerous apparently. At the end it was 1:1 but Jo didn’t let us play another round, so it stayed like that - still, the two rounds were exciting and pretty fun. To sum up I liked to play Capture the flag with the class, but I wished we could have played another round (just to have a winner)! See you soon, Vicky

Mayflower Starting point

Hi guys, Benjamin here. I want to tell you about a very important place in Plymouth. It’s the starting point of the “Mayflower“ in the city‘s harbour. But let me tell you a bit about the ship: Looking for a place to practice their radical Christianity, about 100 English Puritans (an English christian movement) set off for America on the Mayflower on September 16, 1620. These Pilgrim Fathers unwittingly laid the foundation for the creation of the United States. It was really unbelieveable to stand there, knowing that the formation of such an important country began right there. All in all our trip to Plymouth was very cool and exciting. Bye

Free time activities

FREE TIME Everyday, mostly before lunch or after dinner we had some freetime to do whatever we wanted to on the grounds of Moorlandhall.When the weather was nice outside, which it luckily was almost everyday, we went on to the big field outside and played football, often till after nine in the evening. Sometimes our whole class was playing, sometimes we were only about half the class, but regardless it was very,very fun.   Some of the time we were in the community room either playing „Stadt Land Vollpfosten“ or we were trying to build a 1000 piece puzzle while also talking about different topics. Some of us even played some songs on the piano and teached others to. When we were outside sometimes we also played volleyball.When the stars were shining beautifully outside we talked into the night. We really enjoyed having some free of any  by ourselves. Bye, Alina & Alexandra :)
