Fun and Games at Taskworks

March6

“Stomp, Stomp” came the sound from one of our activities at Taskworks. Today all of the 1/2s, some parents and our teachers went on an excursion to Taskworks in Mulgrave. We were put into six groups and we were able to complete six different activities. All of these activities helped us with our learning. We needed to concentrate, work as a team,challenge ourselves, co-operate and use our memory. The six activities were:

1. “Build it”, where we had to disassemble and reassemble a robot.

2. “Create a Scene”, where we got to where different costumes and pose in different ways in front of different backgrounds.

3. “The Cable Maze”, where we had to go with a partner and find our way out of a maze made out of cables while trying to improve our times.

4. “Stomp a Stump”, where we worked with a partner trying to stomp plastic stumps that popped out of the ground. We needed to stomp as many as we could in a set time.

5. “Peg Fast” where we had to work in teams and put all the pegs in holes, trying to beat our own times as well as the three other teams.

6. “Puzzle Room”, where we got to use big blocks to build anything we wanted, ride a bike, match the flag with the country and making pictures with shapes.

What was your favourite activity?

    Hi Lilli,
    My favourite activity was hard to choose as I liked “the Cable Maze” and “Stomp a stump”. I had a great day as I had never been there before.

    hi 1/2 a i liked our excursion to taskworks. I most enjoyed riding the bike and making the arrow reach the top. I had to pedal really fast and I was out of breath at the end, but it was so much fun!
    My second favourite thing was peg fast and trying to beat the other teams.
    My third favourite thing was stomp a stump. We had to stomp on all the plastic stumps that popped up all over the place.

      Hi Joel, I am glad you enjoyed the excursion. There was certainly a variety of things to do. Riding that bike was harder than it looked but I managed to get the arrow to the top.

    I liked it when they measured their shoes because they did it in different ways. I wish I had been there that day.
