A bridge too far
The weather wasn't kind and the snow project was cancelled due to lack of snow and all the ebay purchases have been stored for use at a later date. I guess we could have transported all the student to a snowy place but it would have been a big hassle so we went for the easier option of paper bridge building. Everyone agrees that team skills are important qualities to be successful in most areas of business so why don't we do more about them in schools? Traditionally I suppose these skills were developed in team sports but we don't do much of that at our school so I'd say we are a bit lacking in the area of encouraging teamwork. Having said that I'm pretty impressed with the way the students have worked throughout the day.
