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.
