Kiwi Can | Fun Week!

This week Wednesday was Fun week at Kiwi Can. Today we recapped what we did through the term with Ms. Peho and Ms. Page since Mr. Matt couldn't attend today's session. The class discussed the one theme which was respect and the 3 topics, respect for our school, respect for our community and respect for our environment. We rehearsed all the actions and words for the phrases and got in a circle to talk about what we enjoyed and liked most about Kiwi Can. I said I enjoyed the fun activities and energisers Kiwi Can set up for us to play. Then we all said games we liked so that we could play 3 of them depending on majority of votes. The games were Octopus, Invisible Touch and 10 second tag but we first played 10 second tag inside of the classroom. One of the leaders pointed to someone and that person had a certain amount of time to tag as many people as they could. If you were tagged then you were out and you had to sit out. The last two people were out of Akuhata and I but Akuhata won it. The next game we played was invisible touch in girls verse boys. We finally played the game that got the most votes out of class, Octopus. We played two rounds of Octopus and the first taggers were Fanini and Liletena, then Sakina and Mojtaba. Lastly we finished off the lesson with GKQ Master. Today was fun and exciting as it was Fun week at Kiwi Can.

Kiwi Can

This week Wednesday we had kiwi can in room 7 with Mr Matt and Ms Lily. Our theme is resilence and our topic is goal setting. First we recaped what we talked about last week then had our energizer. For this weeks energiser we played Snatch. One of the other teachers went around giving someone each part of a rope. Then we had to set it down on the floor infront of us. Mr Matt put some cones in the middle of the rope and spread them out. The rules were we couldn't dive in or else we were out, and we couldn't go on our knees to go get it. Ms Lily played music and we had to go around the rope anti-clock wise. When the music stopped, we had to try and grab a cone to not get out. If you didn't get a cone in the end, you were out and you had to sit on the side. If you and someone both grabbed the cone at the same then you and tio rock, paper, sisccors for it. We started with one practise round and then started the real games. The last two people standing were Andrew and Matthew. When the music stopped, Andrew quickly grabbed it just before Matthew and one the game. I enjoyed the energiser Snatch but didn't like when I went to get the cone because I scrapped my knees on the floor trying to get a cone which caused me to get out and it hurt for a short while. Then we came back on the matt and talked about goal setting and what it means. Goal setting is creating creating something you want to achieve. We also talked about how we can celebrate when we complete a goal. A lot of people had great ideas like having a party, spending time with family, or treating your self with some sweets. Then we played our activity which was octopus. The girls stood around one side of the room, and the boys stood around the other. Mr Matt stood in the middle holding two pool noodles and standing in a hoop. He couldn't move and had to try and get people with the pool noodle from where he was standing. If you were tagged by him then you had to stay where you were when you got tagged and try to get other people. Ms Lily would say something for the girls and boys to do and you had to get across to the other side without getting hit. For example, she might have said crawl, then we had to crawl to the other side. This game was also veyr fun and the last person standing was Lorenzo. We lastly came back on the mat and had GKQ which is General Knowledge Questions. After GKQ we did the points. We got 5 for each one but 3.5 for respect. We said goodbye to Mr Matt and Ms Lily then went back to class.
