I think everyone at Sandaig would agree that we had a great week with the Snakes and Ladders project. The children made and played with 100 snakes and ladders boards, working in cooperative cross stage and age groups.I am especially pleased with the 6 primary seven bloggers, who took hundreds of photos and kept the Snakes and Ladders blog up-to-date over this week. The worked independently and did a great job. They also took a full part in the making and playing, in fact most of them were too busy avoiding being knocked out of the house competition to have time to blog this afternoon.
The project is not over, we will have a huge game of snakes and ladders later in the year. keep checking the Snakes and Ladders blog for news. After the holiday we will announce the winners of each house competition. I hope to add a lot more of the children's photos to the Snakes and Ladders Gallery in the next couple of days.

Today we were doing our snakes and ladders project, here are some of the values we put on our board. There were positive ones and negative these were the reasons why you would go down a snake and up a ladder here are some examples.
You’re a great friend, you shared today, you gave a rude answer go down the snake. Hopefully people will start sharing and will behave
This project was to help people communicate together than and to help each other. This project should be a success.

Today the whole school started their snakes and ladders boards. The primary 6 and 7 children helped the younger children. We started to plan them, we had to think of 5 positive, also 5 negative and 4 special ones to move forward spaces or backwards. We also wrote the numbers 1-100. We were put in different groups and went to other classes. In the course of this week we will be making the boards. Everyone thought that it was fantastic and can’t wait to play them.

That's our board finished now it was easy to make and lots of fun. We made 5 ladders and 5 snakes and other stuff.
Karen says: my group made pencil people and got to decorate them.
Hayley says they were very fun to make but a bit tricky because you get glue stuck all over your hands.
Everyone enjoyed making snakes and ladders boards.

After talking Miss Burke we got into groups and went to different classrooms to start our snakes and ladders board. We did positive and negative things on the board with the teacher who had us. Our teacher gave us a planning sheet with squares on it like a snakes and ladders board to get an idea on how we were going to do it.
After we had planned our boards it was time to start on the real board. We had to write numbers from 1-100 before we could use materials. We started to make ladders and snakes.

This morning Miss Burke spoke to us about our valuable possessions. The reason she brought it up is because p6M p6S + p7S p7T are working on a snakes and ladders board. The idea was to work together and to co-operate with other people from other classes.
So we mixed the classes in groups. We got given bright coloured boards, foam square plates, sequins etc. We all decided negative and positive values e.g you dropped litter move back 2 spaces. The big reason why we started the snakes and ladders is because Michael the storyteller was telling us a story about wee-tom making his own snakes and ladders so there you. Most of us enjoyed doing it!
The p7 's will be working with the rest of the school like p5,p4,p3 etc.
We all had a great TIME!
