Being part of a team

This week we are looking at being part of a team.

So often in life we have to work with other people, it could be in your classroom, the playground, a sports field. We are wanting to find out what it really means to be a 'team-player' or someone who works well in a team situation.

We only have to look at the sporting victories over the weekend to see how important being a team player is;

Black Ferns - World Campions

All Blacks - Last minute victory over Australia

K4 Crew (Bronze) - Kayaking World Championship

Here are the questions!

Q1. How often do you work in a team or group in your class? What team or group activities do you do? 

Q2. Do you enjoy working in a team with others? Explain why or why not?

Q3. What are the key elements of teamwork? Why are they important?

Q4. In what ways are you a team player? What do you bring to a team?

Q5. Do you think it's important to be able to work with others? What are the benefits?

Q6. What can you do when someone is not pulling their weight in a team? What could you say?
