Being part of a team

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
