Year 7 Team Building

Hi, my name is Caleb, and in this post, I will tell you about the Team Building for Year 7's. We did this because the Year 8's were at camp, and the teachers wanted us to have almost as much fun as the Year 8's.

One of the cool activities we did was to make Truffles. Truffles are like small chocolate balls covered in pieces of dry coconut. We first added biscuits, then we added cocoa, and then we added coconut. After we added them in, we mix them all together, which made a big piece of chocolate with biscuits and coconut sticking out. It had the texture of mud. Add then we did the gross thing, we picked up chunks of the chocolate, and started mixing them into balls. After we had used the whole bowl, and made dozens of chocolate balls, we added coconut to them, which made them Truffles. A few days later, we ate the Truffles.

Another cool thing we did was puzzles with Mrs Moala. The first puzzle we did was a murder mystery. We found out that the man died by a cobra at a party. Then we did another murder mystery, in which we had to find out who killed a woman called Edith. We found out that Edward Green killed her. We then did a puzzle where we had to find the answer of tricky words. One of the words was Big Big
                                                                                                                                             
                                                                                                                                       Ignore Ignore, and we found out that that meant to big to ignore. Then we went and did another activity.

Overall, I thought that the Team Building was great. In the Team Building, the main thing I learnt was that it is better, and funner, to work as a team.
