Our Termly Value Discussion -Teamwork

• Teamwork is when you work together and appreciate other's opinions.  Even if you don't like someone's choices, it can be good to work together and you can think of a different idea together
• Without teamwork, we would be lonely - Phoebe
• Teamwork is important because you can develop life skills - you always have to work together 
• I show teamwork when I work with a group and listen to people's ideas and take their advice - Leo
• Teamwork is important because without it, people and life would be different - like it would take longer to do things and there may not be as many creations - people would still have ideas but without teamwork, inventions would not be made - Emily
• I think teamwork is out most important value because you have to prove that even when you're not with your mates, you still work well to achieve sometime  - Kiarna
• Without teamwork, we wouldn't have trophies or victory.  We might not have the internet or other great creations because they take more than one person to make - Jessie
• Teamwork helps you complete the goals of life - Owen
• Being respectful and honest with each other
• When you are put in a team work together in roles rather than by yourself.
• If someone has an idea don't disregard it but be kind about how you may make a compromise and how to include their idea as well.
• Include others in your game and encourage anyone who isn't playing.
• Don't just have one leader allow everyone to join in.
• Listen to each other.
• Take turns.
• Use kind words and encouraging words.
• Being fair.
• There is a fine line between being bossy and working as a team leader as you give people choices and listen to them rather than telling them what to do.
• Avoiding arguments by solving the problem together.
• Setting the rules down first so that everyone is aware of what they need to do and are happy with the rules.
• Using sentences such as I agree or I disagree but without hurting anyone's feelings.
