Kiwi Can | Giving it a go

LI: To be confident to try new things.
Today in Kiwi Can LS1 were learning about Giving things a go and being confident. Our Theme is still positive relationships. Giving it a go means being confident to participate in new activitys.

Energizer: 1 2 3 GO! 
Our energizer was called 1 2 3 GO! In this activity we had to find a partner, we had to be sitting facing them with a certain amount of space between us. Inbetween partners there was a cone, this game was similiar to bang, when a special word in a sentence had been said we had to try and beat our partner by getting the cone before them.

Activity: Pose
Our activity was called pose and in this game we had to again, find a partner and stand back to back with them. The Kiwi Can leaders would give us an action and we would have to act out that action as best we could. This activity encouraged us too not be shy and to be comfortable being ourselves.

Kiwi Can | Positive Relationships

LI: To learn about positive relationships.
This week for Kiwi Can we were learning about positive relationships, it is our new theme for this term and our topic is fairness & fairplay. 

Energizer: Switch Places
To play switch places we had to make a large circle around our "new" Kiwi Can instructor Ms. Grace, the person in the middle of the circle has to say something they like or like doing. If someone else likes the same thing as the person in the middle they have to switch places with someone else.

After our energizer we had a discussion about our topic and our theme, we were talking about what a positive relationship is, a positive relationship isa healthy bond between two people. 

Activity: Pizza Tag
Pizza tag is similar to the game Fruit Salad, except you choose 4 toppings that you want to be. Our group ( The Year 6s ). chose Cheese & Garlic, Hawaiian, Meat Lovers & Pepporini. I chose to be Cheese & Garlic. Whenever the chef ( Tagger ) says a topping e.g: Cheese & Garlic, that team has to run to the other side of the playing field. Whenever you get tagged you're now a tagger, Every cook can move around to tag people.

Kiwi Can | Fun Day

LI: To reflect on what we've learn't in Kiwi Can.
This week in Kiwi Can we had a fun day. In a fun day we get to play some games for the whole time were there. Before we played games we had reflected on what we had learn't over the terms. We learn't about respect, integrity, resilience & positive relationships.

Games 
The first game we played was hot potato. We had to get in to a circle and pass the ball around, we also had to sing a chant. The chant was "hot potato fast, hot potato slow, hot potato, hot potato, out you go" When the chant finished, whoever had to ball was out. The second game we played was called musical cones. This game is very similar to musical chairs but instead of a chair, you have to grab a cone and put it on your head. The next game was called bop, In bop we Mr Simanu would point to one of us and we would have to say "bop" before he finishes a sentence. There were other actions we had to do like an elephant. The last game was a color game. When Mr Simanu called out a color we would have to do an action specific to the color.

Kiwi Can | Respect for others

LI: To respect others differences.
Today in Kiwi Can we were continuing with respecting others for their differences. Our energizer was called mirror. To play the game we made two lines with people facing eachother from each line. One of the lines would be people and mirror, the people then had to do an action and the mirror would repeat the action. We then talked about our needs and desires. Our needs are things we actually need to get through the day, were as our desires are just things we want. In this activity we also had to respect each other for our abilities.

Kiwi Can | Respect for others

LI: To respect others for their differences.
Today in Kiwi Can we were learning about respecting others. We were also respecting others beliefs, ideas and customs. One of the ways you can show respect to others is learning about there culture, religions & customs.

To learn about this we played an activity called Spot The Diffference. To play we had to get in to pairs, one person would turn around while the other person changes their appearance. Once the person turns back around they would have to try and spot what they changed. They would then swap the roles. I felt this was an important activity and topic to learn about.

Kiwi Can | Patience

LI: To learn about patience
Today in Kiwi Can we started learning about patience. Being patient means you follow instructions instead of jumping ahead. Our energizer was called move and grab. To play we had to have one of our hands flat and the other hand in the shape of a gun. The gun hand has to move quickly and the flat hand has to try and catch the other persons gun hand. The activity we played was about a patience chain. Mr Simanu would squeeze our shoulders then we had to carry it down in a chain. We weren't allowed to look back and we weren't allowed to squeeze without a person squeezing our shoulder first. At the end of each line there would be a runner and when the runner feels a squeeze they would race to grab a cone. The last game we were playing was called end of the road. This game was based on GKQ, we would form a line and then we would go down the line until the end of the road.

Kiwi Can | Respectful Language

LI: To learn about respectful language.
In Kiwi Can we were starting to learn about respectful language. Respectful language is when you have a positive attidude and you are using formal language. The first game we played was rock, paper, scissors but with a few changes. So we all had to find someone then we had to verse them in a match of rock, paper, scissors and if you lost then you would go on your knees. Eventhough you were on your knees you could still verse people who are also on there knees. You could only verse people who are the same as you for example if you're on your knees you can only verse people on there knees same goes for standing up. Our last activity was called animal choir. First we had to split eachother up into groups. Next each group would be given an animal ( for examlpe: Kitty, Kitty, Meow, Meow or Doggy, Doggy woof woof ) sound. One person from the middle would point to a group and they would have to make there noise or phrase.

Kiwi Can | Respect

LI: To learn about respect
In Kiwi Can we continue to learn about respect. In this session our energizer was called "VS" and we had to show our opionion about what we like more for example "Chicken nuggets vs Fries" So if you like fries more you would go to the right side or if you like chicken nuggets more you would go to the left side. Each side would then share a statement about why there choice is better. The Kiwi Can leaders would then choose what side had the better statement and then they would collect a point. Then we were talking about respect again. Our activity was wisdom vs brawn. In this activity we split the class up and see if they can do a physical activity or multiple riddles. We would then come together to talk about what we did.

Kiwi Can

LI: To respect ourselves
For the first week in Kiwi Can we had a new teacher ( Kiwi Can leader ) and his name was Mr Simanu ( sorry if I spelt it wrong ). Our new theme is respect and our catchphrase was "R-E-S-P-E-C-T, find out what it means to me". In our energizer we had three commands which were Apple, Banana & Orange. Apple meant we had to jump forward, Orange meant we had to jump backwards & and Banana meant we had to jumps and face the other direction ( 180 or 90 turn ). Then we talked about how & why we should respect ourselves. We can respect ourselves by making sure we are in a healthy condition, and we should respect ourselves because other people can also respect us. Lastly for our activity we were trying to guess between two different options like was I a duck or a skydiver. For each question we got right we would get a point. Some people were also lukcy because they got to have a turn asking questions to other people about themselves.

Kiwi Can | Dealing With Challenges

LI: To deal with challenges.
We need to practice dealing with challenges to deal with them easily in the future. We did a Bus Stop activity. We had to get into groups and each group had a photo of a person doing a challenge. We had to explain what the challenges were, How the person doing the challenge feels and how they could fix the problem. Everytime a Kiwican leader said swap we would have to give our photo to the group next to us and it would work as a rotation.

Kiwi Can | Self Control & Self Discipline

LI: To learn about Self Control and Self Discipline.
For our activity we were given four challenges and we had to do them all in a minute. The first challenge was doing 5 press ups, 5 sit ups, 5 squats and 5 burpees as many times as we could in a minute. The next challenge was us trying to match the Maori colors with the english colors ( The colors were just words for example: Green & Kakariki ). After that challenge we had to try and write the alphabet backwards. The last challenge was us doing the Kiwi Can catchphrase but with our own actions. One of the hard ones for me were making up our own actions for the catchphrase. I got through this challenge by Showing resilience and I also was trying not to be nervous.

Kiwi Can

LI: To understand emotions.
In Kiwi Can our new theme was resilience and our topic was emotions. Our activity and energizer were called Emotion Disco. In this game one person would be wearing headphones and the other people had to act an emotion without saying what emotion it was. The person in the headphones had to try and say what emotion they were acting out. Lastly our catchphrase was " Kiwi Can Says, If you feel it, let it out, don't doubt just get it all out ". Our new catchphrase was telling us to let all our emotions out instead of keeping them in because they would eventually burst.
