Teamwork & Problem Solving

150 Year 5&6 children had a fantastic afternoon of fun activities at the Outdoor Education Festival, hosted and run by Paignton Academy. The children took part in a number of different activities that tested their resilience, creativity, teamwork and problem solving skills. Sports Leaders from the Academy, led the activities, challenging and supporting the children as they wrestled with the tasks.

 

The primary teachers who accompanied their class were impressed and sometimes surprised by the children who demonstrated excellent leadership skills themselves. Many of the activities required the children to step out of their comfort zone in order to help their team to succeed.

 

The festival was a tremendous success and helped many of the children to understand how to work effectively in a team environment.
