Over the course of three hours my team and I had two activities that made us work more as a team. One of them was very hard, but when we worked together it became easy. Our team had to start on a block of wood, and walk across wires and try to get to another block of wood. It was at first, very hard, but soon we started to help each other and we did the entire activity very easily. When we started, people only cared about getting to there spots, and pushed people out of the way to get there. I guess our leader realized this and started to change the rules. When we realized that we could be voted off of the team, we started to help other people. By the end of the activity people had spent most of the time just helping other people! This was a great experience to see how well we could work if we just tryed more as a team.
I think one big problem our team had at first was that we didn't really comunicate a lot. Some people tryed to take total control, and some people didn't like that. We soon had to each give ideas and brain stormed together. We got a plan that wold help everyone.
"if you help liam get there, then when your finished I can help you, then Chloe can help me get to my spot and on the way help Kate..."
In the end we got a very detailed plan and it worked great. I think that if we didn't start communicating we would probably still be there now.
Norval was definitely a great learning expirience. I would definatly do it again. When we did the drums it was so fun, and the activities made me work so well with my partners. If I didn't go I would not be able to work in partners as well as I do now. I think that everyone had a good time at norval. I know that I did.

Andy, good summary of your day - although from reading other posts I think it might be a little selective ;) I like how your sense of humour comes through in this post. Don't shy away from letting your personality come through in all of your posts.
