Grade three learners, in their unit of inquiry, "How We Organize Ourselves," are studying the importance of making decisions together to cooperate and get organized.
In Physical Education they are learning new ways to communicate as well as organize themselves while having to solve a problem or to complete a challenge.
Learners had to guide a peer who was blindfolded and couldn't see, by coming into an agreement of sounds that would help their partner to be aware of the space and where he could or could not go to.
Most of them chose to clap or click their fingers to have their partners moving and use some key words to have them stop moving. Safety was a big deal while doing this activity and students did a great job helping their partners to feel safe while moving into different spaces in the gym.
Their last challenge of the lesson was to lay down on the floor, put the blindfolds on and together create a human square. It required lots of communication and wasn't an easy task. After the lesson, we quickly reflected on the importance of listening to others as well as being a risk taker and trying their best to help their team to achieve their goals.
