Problem solving skills

One of the problems we had was that we were behind in our timeline! This was because Mr Window was away sick most of the time and it was harder for us to get things done on time.

The team also learned we had to move the garden to a different spot because there were pipes underneath which wasnt good because we had already done alot of work. After we had figured out where the garden was going we started on the mosiac design

The garden is now set infront of the school which is a really great view for people to see when they enter, and we are very pleased that we have some of these problems out of the way. We are also happy with the mosaic design we now have.

We all designed the mosaic and decided on Lukes, his design of  the mosaic is a hand with half the Australian flag and half the Aboriginal flag which we all agreed it was a great design that we want  the school and community to see.

Skills Learned

Today we learned about some of the skills we achieve while working together on our project. While we did our planning, designs and reasearch we learned alot more on what kind of skills we find along the way. Just by working together as a group we can find skills of leadership, assertiveness, communication and cooperation.
