Kiwi Can Reflection - T3 WK8

Today was our third to last session of Kiwi Can with Mr Matt and Miss Lily (tutors). First we discussed what out theme and topic were. Out theme for this theme is resilience. Resilence means bouncing back from difficult situations. I can use this quality in my rugby games and training because sometimes I just don't want to get up early in the morning and go to my games. Our topic is perseverance which means not giving up and being determined to succeed in something. I can show this quality during schools tests and also trying my best to be a good school leader (as I am a manaikalani leader) to younger students. After talking about our theme and topic we moved onto our energizer which was called tangled. This game was one of my favorites because there was running included in the game. Basically you have to link up with other people but you don't link straight away, you are to tag someone first. When you are linked up with people, the end people who are at the end of tangled line are to tag others. Our activity was called invisible tag. This sounds weird but we enjoyed it. First we were splitted into two groups. Then either Miss Lily or Mr Matt were to call a certain amount of people to run onto the court. After that Mr Matt or Miss Lily will call out which tea gets the ball (but there's actually no ball which is why it's called invisible tag). The person with the invisible ball runs and the opposition team tries and tag the person with the invisible ball. Who ever tags the person with invisible ball get's the invisible ball and runs to the end of the court only if he/she doesn't get taged.

Kiwi Can - T3 W6

This week for Kiwi Can both our tutors Mr Matt & Miss Lily was here (Miss Lily was gone for a few sessions). We were lucky to have her back. First we re-caped what our theme and topic was. Our theme still sticks with Resilience and our topic is still Problem Solving. Resilience is when you bounce back from challenges. Problem solving means when you work together with someone or in a team to share ideas and find the best solution to a difficult problem. For our energizer we played a game called quick draw. In this game there is a master and that master goes around the circle, then the master and the person standing up from the circle put's their hand behind their back. Once the caller (Mr Matt) says go the master and the other person are suppose to put 1-5 fingers up. The winner is the quickest person to add all fingers up (including theirs) and know the answer. For example if I'm holding the number three and the master holding two it's the first person to call out five (because there's five fingers all together). In my perspectives this was one of my best Kiwi Can sessions of this term. 

Kiwi Can Reflection

Today was our 4th session of Kiwi Can and Mr Matt was our Kiwi Can tutor. First we talked about the theme and the topic for this week. Our theme is still resilience which means bouncing back from difficulties or challenges. Our topic for this week is problem solving. Problem solving is when you work together with someone or in a team to share ideas and find the best solution to a difficult problem. We also talked about how we can problem solve in a maths class. For example if a person tries to copy you in a maths problem you can solve it by telling the teacher or if your kind you can help them. After discussing the topic and theme then we moved onto on our energizer. Our energizer game was called rock paper scissors. In this game you are to rock paper scissors with someone and if you loose you are to go on knees. Once you are on your knees you are to verse someone who's on there knees. If you loose then you sit out of them game. If you win and your on your knees then you get back up and verse another person. This game was played until last person standing. Next we played our activity which was the best Kiwi Can game. This game was called hand soccer which is similar to soccer but you have to use your hands to control the ball. I really enjoyed this game because it made us fatigued which was good.
