This session we were able to work on the robot and project in the afternoon as Team 2 were free to do some more project stuff. We still talked about the project in the morning which meant we got more project done then we did a few week ago. One of the team members has now started writing the project presentation which we hope will be done in time to learn over Christmas. Robot wise we are earning more points. Sam is earning a few points and Team 1 are earning lots of points. Hopefully Team 1 will finish their mission trip next week. In this week’s team exercise we all had to write down three things that were true about ourselves and one thing that was false and then the rest of the team had to guess which one was false and which were true. It was interesting to learn three new things about them.

Team 2 checked that Mission Trip B (MTB) was still working (as they ran out of time last session to test it properly) so they ran the robot a few times until it was working again. Team 1 are getting closer to finishing Mission Trip A (MTA). Sam worked on Mission Trip C (MTC) while the others worked. Team 2 started working on the project presentation instead of working on a new mission trip. The project is going amazingly although we will need to work really hard to have lots done by Christmas. The team talked about the Core Values Rubrics and came up with examples of when we showed certain Core Values inside and outside the team.
Annie Team Member Team 2 has now finished their mission trip apart from doing a few more runs just to check that the program is working OK, but if, for any reason, it fails then they will be trying to sort that out next week. Team 1 are also making great progress and should finish their mission trip in a few weeks’ time giving us even more points. Our project is going really well and we should soon be ready to write the first copy of our presentation soon. We are now thinking about what professionals we could visit or contact so that they can give us feedback about our solution. Before Core Values we all went outside to have some photos taken of the whole team together. For our fun team activity we each had a sticky label stuck on our forehead which had a name on it and we had to ask questions to try and guess what the name was that was written on it.
Annie Team Member We are doing really well with the project so we should get our presentation ready to learn by memory in a few weeks. We talked about our homework that we were set last session then went on to thinking about what we could do for our homework for the next session. Before we did that we talked more about our solution to see what homework would be best and what was needed to be done. After we had done that we had lunch then we all went out to play football. After an extra week of just robot we were much further and that is really good as we ideally need to get the robot to earn more points in all the mission trips. Team 1 are earning some points about five time with the first bit of the mission but still need to program the second bit to work, Team 2, however, still need to program the robot to drive up to the missions that they are doing although they have now conquered one of the hurdles that was standing in their path. That hurdle was when the robot was veering off course. Because Sam was free he begun to work on the third mission trip. A few week ago we were assigned a page of a story which we were to read out loud today with feeling and no mistakes. We all had one page each that was from the same book and that when read in order would tell part of the story. We were filmed while we read out our pages and after we had finished we were each given some advice. This exercise was to help us to read better in public.
Annie Team member As today was not a proper meeting we spent the most of the day working on the robot as we needed to get more work done. We made good progress. Team 1 (Grace and Jacob) have earned points about twice whereas Team 2 (Annie and John) were still programming the robot to drive up to the missions that they are going to do.
