Three rules were established before students rushed to look for treasure on the command of "GO!" You could only 'cash' in on one piece of treasure (eartag of key tag), no flicking sand and sand had to remain inside the frame work of the sandpit.

Room 7 reflected on their ACTIONS by watching Video 1. It shows: GREAT EXCITEMENT as the students rushed to find the buried treasure. Some people were working together. Some had different styles of digging but everyone was working steadily.

Students were helping each other. Some people were walking around. They were finding unexpected treasure. But VICTORY at last.... for some! media type="youtube" key="QEAuq6ERBNg" height="315" width="420" 3 Hours later : People are getting tired! But teams of people are digging together, helpers have been called in. Some are digging deeper...they are anxious to find the treasure. Some people are getting frustrated and some are getting angry. BUT THEY KEEP WORKING AS A TEAM.

The activity demonstrated that Terrace End **School** have very determined students who don't give up! They remain loyal to their classmates so everyone can enjoy the treasure and no-one misses out. Mrs Funnell is very thrilled to have such a thoughtful class. The students have demonstrated MANAAKITANGA - they care and share with their fellow classmates! Tino Pai.
