Leadership in Action

This week we have begun our leadership project, organising a triathlon for Year 3 & 4 students at Beckenham. We have broken the organisation into 11 jobs, which the students are working on mainly in pairs. The children are thriving on this challenge! Today the course was 'plotted' out on the grass; entry forms and systems were being created; certificates, posters and medals designed; initial contact was made with companies for sponsorship; triathlon tips were researched; a talk is being composed to encourage entries and the school's sports gear stores were scoured for useful obstacle course equipment.  Room 19 is a buzz with activity, collaboration and anticipation. I've been so impressed with the deep thinking.
