Human Digger Track

Today's Mahi Tahi task (where the Year 5 - 8s come together each Tuesday to work as one) was to create a human digger track.  All of the team had to be on the inside.  The track needed to be strong and the team had to communicate effectively to ensure the track moved them from one end of the court to the other. This task required critical thinking, communication and collaboration.


We saw the tracks being strengthened by folding paper, adding extra layers, laying paper over top of the joins in a brick like fashion. 


When everyone had finished we had groups test their tracks in our Mahi Tahi Space - Piwakawaka.  Then those that were successful went out to the court to race! It was great fun to make these and work together - we were really successful!

  1. Kia ora Tui Class,
    WOW! That looks like so much fun! Did anyone make it right to the end? Did you have to all walk at the same time?

  2. It was lots of fun! We certainly had to collaboration and communicate on this task. Lots of teams made it to the end, but their 'tracks' were a little worse for wear! :)
