This was our last learning session for Peer Mediation. We started off with a co-operative activity where we worked in groups of 6 to create a macine. Each group could decide on their machine and mime it. After 5 minutes it was "Do or Die" and we had to perform for the rest of the group. The machines were great; there was a washing machine, a fridge, a trike, a toaster and more. We had to guess what each group was.
Today we learnt how to manage difficult situations. When they ask for mediation, some people have problems with:
Lying
Lack of co-operation
Keeping self control
Mostly we can use body language, hand signals and "I" statements to help us mediate.
Next we had a new game of Elephant and Palm Tree and finally we reflected on the things we enjoyed and learned this session. As always, the games were a hit.
Next week we will be organising our timetable for duties so we need to decide on our working teams as our homework activity.
