In the bridge activity, all six teams with their separate tables set to compete against each other in a race against time to build a sturdy bridge capable of holding four boxes of golf balls using a bag of straws, a roll of masking tape and a pile of newspaper. I liked thinking of ideas that would help support the bridge, I didn’t like working in such a big group with all our ideas colliding. I learnt that we have more than enough resources for the task—we just need to find a way to use them efficiently.

If ever we want to become architects in the near future, we may use ideas we had at the time of the task into a project (or bridge) we might need to complete for said job.

My name is Michael Aziz and I think that Mordi Experience is fun.
This week we played tug of war which was really fun. In the tug of war there were two pools and round robin.
We won every match and got into the final against a bunch of girls.
Winning in the tug of war was fun. We had to take off three members from our team and we still won.
The game was fun and there was nothing bad about it.
Something that I learnt was that a teammate said that stronger people stand back.

Welcome Term 4!

A big welcome to the term four 'Mordialloc Experience' group. We are well into Orientation week, with six coloured tag teams competing for the first prizes of the week. So far the group has completed a number of exciting activities, ranging from tug of war, bridge building and bowling, to a survival scenario whereby students had to survive and plane crash and decide on a list of items to enable them survive. The students have developed their problem solving skills and become more accustomed to working in a group and supporting each other. We are all looking forward to tenpin bowling tomorrow and will keep you updated on how it went.
