Kiwi Can

This week at Kiwi Can we talked about role models. First we had a energiser called hammer. For this activity we got into pairs and put our hands into fists then put the on top of each other. Ms Grace would call out up, down or hammer. If Ms Grace said hammer, the person on top would trap the other players hands. If the other person dodged the person that was trying to trap their hands, they would still be in and the other person would be out. After doing that energiser we talked about role models and what they did. Role models to me are people who takes responsibility and leads others. With a partner we shared who our role models are and what they do to be a role model. After talking about role models we played picture that which is when Ms Grace calls out a object that we re-create. To finish off kiwi can we played the end of the road which was filled with different types of questions. I really enjoyed this session of kiwi can today and will be looking forward to next weeks session.

Kiwi Can Reflection

This week for Kiwi Can this term, our theme was positive relationships and our topic was positive communication. First we got into two groups (Mr M and Ms Grace's group)and did an energiser called Up and Down, which included using positive communication. For this activity, one group flipped the cones up, while the other flipped the cones down. The group that had the most cones flipped either up or down, would win. After the energiser, we talked about positive communication. As a act, Mr M asked Karlos to help him set a scene. In the act Mr M told Karlos that he was rubbish at basketball, the goal was to get Karlos to be cheered up, by saying positive things. Nextly, we moved onto our activity called Street Fighter, in this activity we had fighting actions from Mr M and Ms Grace. In our groups we competed against each other to see who could do a combinations of moves the fastest. I really enjoyed playing these activities and look forward to going next week.

Today we had another session with Kiwi Can. The theme today was positive relationships and fairness and fairplay. For our energiser today we picked a partner and a cone was in between us. The kiwi can teachers told us the magic word and said it in a sentence. If we hear it we grab the cone and the other person had to do a push up or star jump for the practice round. When it came to elimination round the player that didn't grab a cone would have to sit up on the steps. After the final players played we all gathered up so we could listen to the next instructions. We were talking about giving things a go which is when you have the courage to do something even if you're afraid. The next thing we did was 1v1 which is when we show our partner whatever the action was like dramatic crying. That activity was about trying something new when you're scared. The last activity we did was GKQ, which was boys vs girls, which the boys won. The questions were all random like what was Mr Crabs enemies name. I really enjoyed this weeks kiwi can.

LI: To include and engage others by being sensitive to their feelings.  This week was our first session of Kiwi Can with Mrs Mac and Ms. Grace. The theme for this term was positive relationships, fairness, and fair play. We started with an energiser, called Change Places. For this activity, Ms Grace called out some things that we might like and if we liked it, we would change places with a different person. After we did our energiser, we talked about words related to empathy, which were courtesy, common sense, and consideration.  Some examples to show courtesy with words are having manners, being kind, and being polite. Some other examples to show courtesy without words are hand gestures, facial expressions, and body language. To show common sense, you make wise choices and trust your instincts. Some ways to show consideration is thinking about others and how people may feel. Lastly, we talked about some ways to show empathy which are, being kind, supportive and being considerate. After that, we did an activity, where we acted out the positive or negative ways of showing empathy. In our group our play was about someone crying because she was bullied, so we decided to cheer her up.

At Kiwi Can today our theme was integrity and our topic was reliability. First we had a energizer. In the energizer we had to find a partner and one of us had to be blindfolded and protect the other person from getting tagged from the other partners. After we played the energizer we talked about our topic reliability. Reliability is when you trust someone to do something. One example is when someone tells you a secret and they trust you to keep it a secret and not tell anyone. After we had a talk about reliability we moved onto the activity. The activity was to find someone that is kind of the same height as you. The activity was to try and balance by doing the different exercises we were given and the main focus was about relying on your partner to keep you balanced. Lastly we did a GKQ (General Question Knowledge). We sat in a circle and there was a master who went around the circle and answered the questions the teacher gave us.
