Year 5 Leadership Retreat 2022
Last week on Friday, the 18th of November, Year 5 had their Leadership Retreat Day. We all walked over to the St Mary’s Parish Meeting Room ready for a day full of fun. We started off with a prayer, as usual, and prayed for the day to go smoothly. All of us went outside to play a couple of team games, including knots. Knots is a game where you have to connect hands with someone opposite you and you have to get untangled. We also played a game called keepy-uppy, everyone knows what that game is, but we had to hold hands and cooperate with the team to keep the balloon off the ground.
After playing some fun games, we headed back inside to do some booklet activities. The activities included, skills, qualities, personalities, leadership skills, and what we want for our future. The morning had already ended, and it was time for lunch! Mrs Walsh ordered some yummy hot chips from Paul’s Cafe, including a popper of our choice.
After lunch we headed back over to school to do a Mini Vinnies zoom meeting. After a little chat with Matt and Teah (the hosts of the Mini Vinnies chat), we split up into break out rooms to talk with other schools.
When the meeting was over, we headed back to the Meeting Room to do some more booklet work. We got given a sheet of all the roles and responsibilities we would have to take care of if we became a captain. We finished the day playing more team games, like; all over, Band-Aid tag, chain tag, skipping, and a trust game.
I couldn’t have asked for a more enjoyable day! Thank you, Mrs Walsh, for all your hard work to organise it.
