Norris Bank Allstars - Who we are & where we come from
I am Beau. I like tennis and I just started competition. My favourite subject is maths. I am in grade 6 at Norris Bank Primary School. I enjoy using computers at school and am very happy to be part of the ThinkQuest team. I have learned many new things about creating web pages during this project.
My name is Emilia and I’m 11 years old and I go to Norris Bank Primary School. I joined ThinkQuest because I wanted to learn how to make a site and to cooperate with my team. We picked the topic Ancient Egypt because we thought about how people would like to learn about mummies and other things about Ancient Egypt.
Collaboration
Our team worked together and collaborated to make the best website we could. The collaboration of our group was good but could be improved in some areas. We used our individual skills to the best of our ability to help the group work together. We have shared our ideas and we have done well because we used co-operation in many different ways. We all have individual skills which helped us to make this website, such as good artists, which helped us to create a colourful website, and good planning people that made it possible to design the website. Other people in our team had skills such as, spelling and computer skills. We used these skills to make this website as enjoyable and educational as possible.
