Kiwi Can

This week Wednesday we had Kiwi Can with Mrs. Paige and Mr. Alapati. Our theme is positive relationships and our topic is positive communication. Our focus is active listening and we talked about praise. Our energiser was hoop tug of war, which we had to get into 4 teams for. I was with Alice, Ellenora, Florence, Nyjah, Neveah, Pua, and Te Ponamu. One person from each team competed against one person from the other team and every team had their own cone to touch. Everybody put on hand on the hoop and the target was to pull to the cone. First person from the team to touch it, won. This was very exciting and everybody was cheering for their team-mate. Next we came back to the mat and talked about what we were learning about today. Our last thing we did was our game, which was kick ball. We each got into half and half teams and we would alternate the rolls. This was played out on the field. Someone would kick the ball and tried to run across the field without the team tagging them with that ball. You could run back if someone else through the ball as well. At the end of the games, we came back inside room 7 and did the points. We had a total of 49 as our score.

This Wednesday we had Kiwi Can with Mrs. Paige. Our theme is positive relationships and our topic is positive communication. Our focus was tone of voice, which means how we present our voices to show how we feel. Our energiser was fruit salad. Everyone spread out around the classroom, and the leader would call out a fruit which we had to preform the action for. Apple meant we had to move our hips the left, pear meant we had to move our hips to the right, banana meant we had to bend froward, watermelon meant that we had to bend backward. We played a few rounds before coming back to the mat to play our activity. It was called positive and negative role-play. We each we split into 4 groups of 5 and one group had 6. I was partnered with Nyjah, Florence, Giovanni, and Aung Naing. Mrs. Paige gad every team a laminated card which had a scenario written on it, and we had to come up with a positive version of it. Ours said that someone misses a pass and the coach yells at the member. We practised outside our acting, and we would be playing netball but Aung Naing missed the ball. The 'coach' Nyjah, would yell at him for it and the team members (Victoria, Florence, and Giovanni) would help comfort Aung Naing. After organising our act, each group presented our cards and what we had come up with. Another thing would should have added was to get Nyjah to apologise. Everyone did great, and just before leaving the softball inter-school players came back, also teacher supervisors who went. We finished up our session and said Goodbye to Mrs. Paige and Mr. Alapati.

Kiwi Can Reflection

This week Wednesday we had our first lesson of Kiwi Sport. Our leaders are Ms. Page, and Mr Alapati. Our theme is Positive Relationships and our topic is Positive communication. First we discussed the topic and our understanding of what we will be learning. Our first activity was up, down. We had to get into a circle and when the leader said down, we had to bob our heads down but when up was said we had to look up and stare at someone. This had to show honesty and be truthful if you were out. We then went outside to play our next activities, and for the first one we needed to get into small groups of three and stand in a circle. I worked with Sakina and Florence. We each numbered ourselves off like every other group, and once a leader called out a number, that person ran around the circle. The two partners built a tunnel with their arms and body, for the runner to go through. In the middle there were only 5 hoops to stand in, but if your runner was last to get in a hoop then the group was out. The final activity for the afternoon was a trailing game. Two partners had a leader, and someone holding onto their shoulders at the back. Each pair's leader was trying to tag the other person at the back of another pair. My pair was Florence, and it was quiet hot out so we got out in the first few rounds. This game showed communication because the person at the back had to signal when someone was coming and the leader had to keep an eye out. We finished up, and said goodbye to our kiwi can leaders and headed to the fale to spend the rest of our time before going home.

Kiwi Can

Today LS1 had Kiwi can in room 7 with Miss Lily and Mr Matt. We are still focusing on conflict resolution and positive relation ships which are our theme and topic. First they had us get into 4 lines then started off the kiwi can session by talking recapping about conflict resolution. We talked about what it means, conflict means argument/fight/problem and resolution means solution/solving. Our energiser was an activity called create me. Everyone was number off from 1 to 5. Then after one of the leaders gave us a object or something we had to create it. Everyone in the team had to be included in it. In my team there was - Matthew, Alayah, Jayden, Fanini, Sila, and Ellenora. After that we came back on the mat and talked about talked about what we did in that activity. Then we went outside onto the netball court and only played a short game of stuck in the mud. For this game there can be 1 or more taggers and a row of people. The tagger/s had to try to tag all the runners. We weren't able to complete one whole round before it started to rain so we sadly had to go back inside and do something else. We were about to play GKQ but we wanted to do something else. So we played bang. For this game you have to stand in a circle with one person in the middle who calls out a name. That person whos name was called out has to duck and the two people beside that person needs to call out bang before the anyone does. Whoever said bang first was still in and the other person was out. Then as more people got out the circle began smaller and smaller. Just until the last two people. The special word for the first round was banana, then the next rounds special word was pie. There is also a new action added to our goodbye chant.

Today LS1 had kiwi can in room 7 with the kiwi can leaders - Mr Matt and Miss Lily. Our topic is positive relationships and our theme is leadership. Today we were talking about Conflict Resolution. This means problem solving. We had to get into 4 lines. The first game we would be playing today was 21. We have played this activity before in kiwi can. You have to get into a circle and pass the ball around counting up to 21. Whoever was holding the ball at 21 was out and the rest carried on and the rules stood the same. Some boys held the ball for too long so we could only hold the ball for 2 seconds. Then we came back into our 4 lines. We talked about conflict resolution and what it means. After that we played a new game, we played guess the emotion. The 4 people at the back from each of the different lines had to stand up and face there team. On the whiteboard, Mr Matt wrote a emotion for the rest of the team to act at and the person standing up had to guess. They were not able to look at the whiteboard because that would be cheating. Every time the person got it write Mr Matt would write down the team points. We were labelled as the order we were in - line 1, line 2 and etc. Everyone in the team got a go. My emotion was shock. My team acted it out very well and I was able to earn a point for my team because I guessed it very well. Lastly we came back into our 4 lines and talked about what we did and the different emotions. Like always we had G.K.Q (General Knowledge Questions). The buzzer was " hello".  One team at a time went. Just before heading off back to class, the kiwi can leaders gave a score out of 5 for - Teamwork, Encouragement, Positive Attitude, Participation, Respect. In the end our total score was 17, we need a little working on with everything.

Kiwi Can

This week LS1 had kiwi can in room 7 with Mr Malu and Miss Lily. Our topic is Leadership and our theme is positive relation ships. First we had to get into rows of 4. Our first activity we played was rock, paper, scissors. We had to find a partner for this game, my partner was Sakina. Between the two partners you had to play rock, paper, scissors, and whoever lost had to go behind the winner and cheer them on. The leader at the front of the line meant they were the leader, they got to verse other people as well and whoever lost had to join the back of the leaders train they had going on. We had about 3 rounds of that before coming back on the matt. We talked about our them and topic for last week. We also discussed with the kiwi can leaders, what makes a good leader and what does a good leader do. The next game we had was charades. I have played this game before and I really like it. We we're separate into teams of three because it would be a competition. One person from each team had to go to the leaders to be told what they would have to be acting out in front of there team. They couldn't talk of course. When your team got the answer you need to yes so that all of the members can say it at the same time so the leaders are notified which team got it first. Everyone in the team had a go. Every team was able to score at least one or more points. I was very happy when my team won a round, it was very fun. We came back on the matt into 4 equal lines again. It was time for GKQ (General Knowledge, Questions). One team at a time went. The buzzer for my team was "bok, bok" and do chicken actions. Then the next team, and etc. Today at kiwi can was very fun and I really enjoyed the activities.
This weeks Kiwi Can chant was - "Kiwi Can says, leaders are fair, leaders are fun, leaders include, Everyone".

Kiwi Can

This week LS1 had kiwi can in room 7. Our topic is fairness and fair play, and our theme is positive relationships. When we first got there we got our self into 4 groups. For this first activity we played Tigerlo which was a mix up of tiger and buffalo. Tiger was ra and we had to put our hands out like you were about to scare someone. For buffalo you had to say ouuu and put one figer from each hand above your head to act like horns. We would need to get in a circle and whenever Mr. Malu pointed to you and said one of them you had to the actions and say the quote. You had to do the actions or else you were out, and you needed to say it or else you would be out too. We had a few practises before the actual game. In the real game, I won! For this next activity we played clap jump. We needed two taggers. We all had to stand still until whenever Mr. Matt or Miss Lily clapped, then we had to take one jump. The taggers would try to tag you so you needed to jump away from them when you could. If you did get tagged, then you had to sit out. We had three rounds at that game before moving on. Then we came back onto the mat in 4 lines. We talked about what encouraging means to us and how we can encourage others. To me, encouraging means to support others and to keep going. Lastly we had GKQ which stands for General Knowledge questions. The people at the front of the for each group got a question and they had to buzz in if they knew the answer and then the cycle continued until we got to the last person. This time, the buzzer was their name and then they had to put their hands behind there head. Our Kiwi Can quote/chant this term was - Kiwi can says, when you argue, sort it out, don't shout, work it out.
