Kiwi can.

W.A.L.T upload and post about what we learnt in Kiwi can today.

 Today we had Kiwi we learnt all about respect, we done 3 games first we done a game called snap, crackle and pop, to play this game you get into a group of three and pick who's snap who's crackle and who's pop, when your done that than sit in a big circle with the rest of the class, when someone says either one of the words and your the one that they say you have to run around the circle and your team mates have to hold each other's legs like a bridge so you can go through and there is something in the middle and the first one to grab it wins and you have to count up your points. The next game was called so, ma, ca, lo, this game is when you sit in a circle and you put your hands out and one of your hands is infront of the persons hand and your other hand is behind the other person next to you, you sing the so, ma, ca, lo song and at the end it sings 1-10 and the person on nine has to clap number tens hand and if they clap them self there out and if nine claps tens hand the person on ten loses. the last game was GKQ this is just when your in a circle and you go around the circle and do a quiz.

REFLECTION:

How did I show respect today?

I think I showed respect by treating people the way I want to be treated.

What did I enjoy:

I enjoyed learning respect through the games and other activitys.

What could I improve on?

I think I could improve on being faster to respond to do something.

QUESTION: have you ever played any of these games?

Marine session with Oliver.

I.A.L.T write and reflect about our Marine session with Oliver.

Yesterday we had our first session with Oliver, Oliver is a person from the Marine reserves program, we went to Te Punawai ora pools, when we arrived we all lined up in a single file line and got fitted into our wetsuits, got our snorkel and flippers, then went into the changing rooms to put it all on. When we were done we waited for all of the others to get into there wet suits, a couple of times I had to help some other people get into their wet suits because I was the first one done and, the were a bit frustrated. We got into a group of non-confidential swimmers and confident ones, (I was a confident swimmer) we got into a buddy, grabbed a boogy board and sat down on the edge of the pool(the goal for these activity's was to stay with your partner) we got into the pool and went in a line to swim around the pool and try to stay with your partner (my partner kept swimming away). 

REFLECTION: 

What did I find challenging? I found that blowing out all of the water from the snorkelling was hard because there was still a little bit left.

What did you enjoy? I liked going down to the bottom and holding my breath.

What is one of your goals you have to do with your ability in the water? hold my breath longer so that I can go under for longer than I do know.

My wolf collage art.

 I.A.L.T upload and reflect on my wolf collage art.

On Thursday we started to pick and sketch out wolf to day we started to glue on little pieces of newspaper, to prep for this you will need

Magazines (with your desired colours) 

Next get an A3 piece of coloured paper and fold it in half, 

Print out a wolf face and put the printed wolf into the middle of the folded paper and put it onto a window and sketch it out onto the coloured paper,

When your done that, get the magazine and rip out little pieces of the colours you want it to fit into the sketch (the smaller the pieces the better it will turn out) 

Once all done it should look really nice.

REFLECTION: 

What did I enjoy? I enjoyed finding all of the coloured pieces and sticking it on (it was like a puzzle)

What did I find challenging? I found that getting all the pieces on, because of my hands being so sticky.

QUESTION: have you done this kind of art before.

Kiwi can

I.A.L.T upload and reflect on our Kiwi can lesson.
Today we had Kiwi can, we are still learning about accountability as we will be doing for the rest of the term our catch phrase was we are honest we are true we take responsibility for what we do.
Our first game was called bang, in this game we would be in a circle and when someone would call out a name that person has to sit-down and the people beside them had to say bang as fast as they can and the last one to say it sits down until there is a winner. Our second game was called the colour game, when someone calls a colour in Maori they have to wind a line on the floor in that colour, we had the colour blue-kahurangi, white-ma, brown-parouri, black-pango, for white we went to a wall and for brown we went to the floor next to the door. The last game was called traffic lights, in this game everyone goes to one side of the room and one  adult goes to theoretically side and if the say green-kakariki you run, if they say yellow-kowhai that means walk and if they say red-whero you stop, to win you have to touch the person at the other side of the room first. our last game was called clap jump walk and stop, in this game you have to walk around and if they do the wrong action there out.

REFLECTION:

what did I enjoy? I enjoyed learning the catch phrase and learning the meaning of accountability.

what did I find challenging? I found that learning about accountibility so fast is very challenging.

QUESTION: have you played any of these games before?

Waitangi trip.

I.A.L.T upload and reflect on waitangi.
yesterday, on Tuesday we went to Waitangi in Paihia. Waitangi is a museum that has wakas, paintings, and carvings. there's even a classroom that has computers and more to learn. In that classroom we done coding on scratch, and even had lunch outside in the beautiful sunshine. that day was so fun, we talked about carvings and trying to find the story to it, like in one of them it had a man that set out to find a octopus that had wrecked boats, and the man you can see has killed the octopus. It was so beautiful there and it was kinda like butterfly Creek in Auckland.

REFLECTION:
what did I enjoy? I enjoyed learning about the story's of Maori and coding on scratch.

QUESTION: have you ever gone to Waitangi.

Kiwi can.

I.A.L.T upload and reflect on Kiwi can.

Today our class had Kiwi can, our main focus for the term was about accountability, accountability is being true and honest and owning up to your actions, that is why our catch phrase was we are honest, we are true, we take ownership of what we do. we played 3 games , the first game was called high tide, low tide, this is how you play the game, so everyone gets a chair and you put it in a circle and someone says either low tide or high tide and if its high tide you stand up and if it's low tide you sit down, if your too slow or do the wrong one your out and you sit down on the floor in front of you chair, in this game our Kiwi canners Jodicy and Shail added in another rule, it was if they say eyes up you do it and if the say eyes down you also do it. Our next game was called impossible connections, this game was were you all dance around to some music stops someone says a number and a body part and you have to get into a group of that much people and you have to be all connected touching that body part, when you've done that you sit down and the last group to sit down or if you don't have a group your out. and at the end of each session we do a game called GKQ, this is a quiz game and we always have a different buzzer, like touch your toes and say your name and many more.
