We went to Iron Oaks on September 28th
Our whoe group had to get on a
small piece of wood. We had to listen to each other or
nothing would get done. Iron Oaks taught my group the value
of teamwork. My favorite was the
Trolley! The field trip to Iron Oaks was
really fun! We worked really well as a team and
helped each other succeed. We didn't accomplish one of the
activities and it was because we were not working
together. My favorite activity was the
"Birthday Log". My favorite was when we were
blindfolded and had to make a square with a rope. The leader could not speak; we had
to observe his/her body language. It taught us how to work
together without verbal communication. In some of the challenges, I
learned about respect. We had a great time working
together as a team. We had to fit onto to a small
platform: and we accomplished our goal. It took trust and teamwork to be a
"blind" person led by a "mute" leader. After the maze activity, I realized
that we needed to talk about what we were going to do, and
how to do it. We learned that when you are a team
you shouldn't get down on one another. We were not able to complete one of
our challenges. Even so, it was still a lot of
fun. I would definitely want to do the
field trip again!! The Jedi Knight event made us
depend on another's voice because we couldn't
see. Iron Oaks is all about teamwork.
Amazing things can happen when people work
together. We learned that it took
cooperation, listening, as well as talking to one another to
complete a challenge. Reasons we were successful: we
followed the rules, we didn't cheat, we cooperated, and we
were able to think of an idea to complete the
task. If the field trip was a
competition, I don't think it mattered if we won or lost. I
think our team would be happy with what we
accomplished. It was a great trip and I learned a
lot. The swing took the most teamwork.
We had to help and encourage one another. Iron Oaks was a fun field
trip!! Our group was successful because we
worked together and used communication and trust. The key to our success was
communication, working together, listening to each other,
every one participating and giving a lot of
effort.
