To clarify:
We have 4 sessions (4 groups)
Each session can be 12 to 14 children.
From there we usually break them into smaller groups of 3 or 4 children with a mentor. That is where the teamwork comes in, the 3 or 4 children work together to achieve a goal. It is very very hard for them to work together - to trust.
I will try to post a photo from last year's penny boats so you can see. Because of the circumstances, we can not photograph their faces which is a shame - they are so engaged in the activity and concentrate so hard on the challenge. I'll see if I can find one I can post.
