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.

Thank you letter to Mrs. Anderson | CARE Awards

For my first activity of respect for CARE awards, I have written a thank you letter to a teacher or staff member. CARE stands for Confidence, Attitude, Respect, Excellence and Innovation. I decided to write my letter to Mrs. Anderson because she was my first teacher that has welcomed me to the school. Something I wrote in my thank you letter is how she has welcomed me to the school as I was a new student and how she has made me feel welcomed.
