Kiwi Can

First day back to Kiwi Can in Term 4. Room 7 now have a new topic and Theme. Our topic is Respect and our Theme is....For Our School.

First, we done the Kiwi Can catch phrase for Respect. After that we went outside for our energizer. The rules for the game is, that there is two tagger sin the middle and each corner has cone with a title. The names for each corner was, Intergrity, Truth, Caring, Honesty. It was a fun quick game.

When we got back inside, we sat in a circle and talked about What Does Respect mean, and How to desrpcribe Honesty to others. After that we got into our activity which is Role Play. We were split into 5 groups. Each group was given a value of the things we learnt. Group 1 was acting out Apreciation. Group 2 was Courage. Group 3 was Perserverence. Group 4 role play was Fairness, and the last group was Friend Ship.

We end Kiwi Can with a game of G.K.Q.

Holiday

I had a great school holiday with my family. It was sad to say goodbye to my dad cause hes leaving to Tonga for a month to go fix the house, and im missing him already. 

The last few days, I went to the cinemas in Silvia with my Mum and my brother. We went to go watch 'Miss Peregrine's Home of Peculiar Children'. It was a interesting and an amazing movie how only peculiar people or childrens can travel through loops. Loops can be anywhere but it can take you back to the past, but not the presents. One of the perculiar childrens was in 2016 and he went through the loop and he went back to 1963. Cool right.  

The last week of the holiday I spent the night at my aunty's house with Sam and he's younger brother. Every morning when I sleep at my aunty's house, my grandpa is always outside doing the gardens. He planted Kumara and corn. I went outside and gave him a hand with planting the corn. So beside the kumara, in the middle thats where I planted the corn seeds and in the same time it was very muddy.

We only have two more days to school opens. Im looking forward to go back to school and complete my tests which im not ready for. :D

Kiwican Reflection

Today was our last session with Kiwican wich is sad. When we entered Kiwican, we sat on the mat in a circle and first thing we did was play a quick game on G.K.Q. The game was all about the three topics we talked about through out the term. First topic was Goal setting. Second topic was Problem Solving. Latsly the topic we were focusing on the last few weeks was Perseverance.

After G.K.Q we went outside to play a game of Multy Sport. The Multy Sports we played was Netball, Soccer and Touch. Mr Numia split the class into 2 groups. One group was wearing non bibs and bibs. I was in group 1 which was the group with the bibs.

Kiwican is a fun progame for schools because they help you with what ever you are struggling through, turning bulies into your best friends, and they just make school a better life but young students to learn in. I love going Kiwican because we do fun activites like energizer and our activity for what we learnt at the beging of the sessions.

Technology - ICT

Science Intensive - Magnets

Today for Science Intensive my group and I went to room 10 to Mrs Moopanar. Mrs Moopanar's science was all about Magnets which was so interesting. We did lots of fun activities with magnets. We used 3 Magnets. Bar Magnet, Donut Magent, and a Horse shoe Magnet.

I learnt that there are 2 type of magnets in the world. 1 is Man-Made and the other is Natural, which is made by God. The natural magnet is 'Gravity' thats begins from North Pole and South Pole. Things that's not magenetic is non Metal, like:

• Plastic
• Fluff
• Leather
• Paper

The first magnet that was dicovered on earth was a Rock called 'Loadstone'. That's what gave humans the Ideas of making magnets.
