Today our teachers set us a challenge. We had to colour the pieces of an ice cream using four different colours. Then we had to cut the pieces out and glue them together on a spare piece of paper.  We got put into seven groups. This is what our teacher gave each of the groups:

Group one: the ice cream pieces and 7 blank pieces of paper
Group two: the ice cream pieces, 1one highlighter and 1 glue stick
Group three: the ice cream pieces, 2 scissors, 3 highlighters
Group four: the ice cream pieces,1 glue stick, 1 scissors, 
Group five: the ice cream pieces, 2 scissors
Group six: the ice cream pieces, 2 glue sticks, 1 highlighter
Group seven: the ice cream pieces, 2 highlighters

The teacher then set the rules that we could not access any other resources from the resource shelf. She said we would have to think like global citizens, communicate and collaborate.

At first we were very upset, how were we supposed to do the activity if we didn't get all the things we needed.

Then our teacher started to hear people saying things like:
 "I will give you a glue stick if you give me scissors"
"Could we please have one of your highlighters?"
"I am going to go and find what we need."

Henry: "we traded"
Isla: "we went to other groups and we asked if we could use their resources"
Lachlan: "we got paper from Jasper's group"
Jasper: " we gave them paper and they should have traded us something"
