Role Models vs Heros

                       
Our topic for inquiry this term is relationships with others. In this activity we had to define the different between role models and heroes. This was a collaborative task so I had to work with my team group, Fui, Ellenora, Karlos, and Neveah. A role model is someone people look up to as inspiration and ideas. A hero is someone to us that we find special, these people have an effect on us and have some special talent or quality to them. One's hero could even be their dad. We ended up making a Venn Diagram like piece, and explained what both the separate names meant.

What is a Leader?

L.I: To define what is a leader and goals we set being senior students.
Our topic for Inquiry this term is relationships with others. Today we are learning about leaders and leadership. In our groups we had to create a D.L.O about what we think to be a leader means and our goals/responsibilities of being senior students/leaders. My understanding of a leader is that they are role models to others and do their best at everything. They take responsibility for their team or help others who are in need. Our finally D.L.O presents what a leader is, what a leader does, how we can be a good leader, and our goals as a leader.

Kiwi Can

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 Matt and Miss Lily. Today for the first activity, we played 21. We had to get in a circle and pass around a ball. While passing the ball around, we had to count up to 21. Who ever still had to ball in their hand at 21 had to sit down while the game continues with everyone else, and the rules stayed the same until there was a winner. Then we had a short discussion of what we did last week and our topic. This week it is leadership and we talked about role models. The next game we played was called Who am I. We had to separate our selves into 3 equals and sit in straight lines. The person at the front had to stand up facing their group. Miss Lily would be writing something on the board and the person standing up had to ask yes or no questions to guess what that thing was. We had a few practise rounds to so how it would play out. Then after someone guessed it out of the three standing up, they went to that back of line and sat down which then the next person in the line went. It was a competition between the teams but all teams won at least one point even though we were counting how much each team got exactly. Lastly we had GKQ (General Knowledge Questions). The buzzer was "Hey". If you knew the answer you had to buzz in and say the answer. The first people in the line went then the next, until the person who was at the back was in the front again. We talked about. We also had a talk about who our role models are. Everyone agreed that our parents are our role models. Before heading off back to class the kiwi can leaders gave us a score for the day.

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".
