Kiwi Can

This week at Kiwi Can, we were looking at emotions and how we express them. Our theme is resilience, which means to get back up and keep trying. To warm up, we gave 10 other people high-fives, and tried explaining how it made us feel. I felt in a hurry to get 10 even though it didn't really matter. We discussed the feelings we might feel, when we might feel it, and what shows that we are feeling it. Our activity was a role play using no words. In small groups, we were given a piece of paper with a scenario to act out together. Chavda, Florence, Fui, Nyjah, and I were given "On stage at a talent show". We would have to somehow show what emotions could be expressed by this. We showed this by Nyjah and Fui (the contestants), preforming a dance in front of Chavda, Florence, and I (the judges). The contests would then show their feelings of sadness, and anger. We all came back after everyone's acting, and  discussed what feelings were shown in each one, and what was going on.

Kiwi Can

This week we had Kiwi Can with Ms. Pee ho, and Ms Page. Our new theme is Integrity, and our topic focus is honesty. Integrity means to do the right thing even when no one is looking, and honesty takes
a big role in that. Telling the truth betters you and others, even if it is hard to get out. To get us warmed up, we first played three sports. The actions were shooting a basketball, karate kick, and fists. This was fun, but we only had a few rounds of it. Our main activity of the day was role playing. Whatever our idea was, we had to include showing integrity somehow. My group was Chavda, Florence, Pua, Neveah, and Jonathan, and our idea we were given window. Our acting was about 4 people tossing a ball to each other, but one throws it too aggressively and causes to break the window of another persons house. The owner came out and asked who did it, but to only receive lies from all but 1. Jonathan owns up to his mistakes, and everything was okay. It was interesting watching everyone else role plays for their idea that they were given, and I learned that our truth affects others around us. We finished our Kiwi Can session with a game of GKQ (General Knowledge).
