Trust Challenge

In preparation for camp, Room eight had a class trust challenge.

This challenge included three comparable tasks. For the first of these, students paired up to face the challenge. This test was about having faith and trust in your partner. Later on the people that were chosen to be number one guided and navigated their classmate (because they had to keep their eyes closed)  on a journey to the front gate of our school. Some people walked and went into areas that they were specifically told to avoid. some groups, they completed this test with no struggles and complaints, but for the others they strived away from seeking victory unlike their opposing teams.

By the time everyone reached their destination (the school gate) the numbers reversed, Both of them switch roles so they can participate in both having your eyes closed and being the leader. The second walk was to go back to class but it had a slight twist. We could take the closed eyed person around the school, through the courts, around the playground and and on the grass. During the walks I could see, everybody was communicating and having lots of laughs. I reckon the second walk was better because I could see people were having more joy than the first one.

When we arrived at class, we had to make a maze. We moved table and chairs around as obstacles. The objective was to make it to the door having your eyes closed. You first start off next to the white and have a little spin to make it harder to complete the maze. Johnnie was the first person to try and complete making it to the door with Mrs Dines communication. Johnnie eventually made it to the door.
