Puzzle Challenge

On Thursday 4 February, Year 3 pupils took part in a Puzzle Challenge Day programme, designed to develop the following areas:

• Team work
• Communication Skills
• Overcoming difficulties with school work in general
• Raise personal expectations

During the three 90-minute sessions the students encountered a variety of fun, but challenging, 3D hands-on puzzle scenarios, which they had to complete in teams. Most challenges lasted for no more than a few minutes, but required each team to work together and carefully develop strategies in order to find a solution.

The programme taught the students how to persevere, put their own skills to better use as part of a team and overcome difficulties by approaching problems from different perspectives.

Thanks to Ms Szemerenyi for organizing the event. VN
