LI:To learn how to communicate with other people positivly

This week for kiwi can our topic is positive communication and our them is positive relationships. Positive communicatation is communcatin with other people positivly.

Energizer
Today for our energizer was called "Flip the cone". We had to split ourselfs in to groups. One group will be with Mr Seamanu and the other will be with Mrs Grace. I was put into Mr Seamanu's group. There were 15 cones in the middle some were upside down and some were the right way up. My groups had to put the cones up the right way and Mrs Graces team had to put the cones upside down. If there are more cones upside down Mrs Graces team win but if most cones are the right way then Mr Seamanu's team wins.

Activity
Our activity was called "Street Fighter." Mr Seamanu is will say a number between 1-5 and then we have to do a fighting action. He can also say a combo like 431. We had to do it one at a time. At the end Mr Seamanu's group won.

I enjoyed kiwi can because I learnt different ways how to communite with others positivly.

Ripper Rugby

LI:To learn the basics of ripper rugby

Yesterday was our first session for ripper rugby. We are doing this kiwi sport for four weeks across the road at dunn curk park.We were learning how to throw and catch a rugby ball. We were also looking at learning how to rip. Our group coach's were Justice and Andrew.

Ripper rugby is a type of sport when you have to colour tags on your waists and the other team has to try and rip our rippers before we score a try. If you get ripped you have to pass the ball to someone in your team. If you get ripped five times it a hand over which means you have to pass it to the other team.

First we did a warm up. The warm up activity was our coach's showed us four directions which were North, South, East and West. When one our coach's said a direction we had five seconds to get to that side. For an example, "West!" We had to run to the west as fast as we can. Whoever dosen't make it to the side in five seconds their out.

Our next warm up activity was rats and rabbits. Rats and rabbits is a fun game were you pick a partner and you have to face each other. One side will be rats and the other side will be rabbits. Our coach's will either say rats or rabbits. If our coach say rats the rabbits have to try and rip our tag before we pass the white line but if our coach says rabbits the rats have to rip the rabbits tag before they pass the cones.

After that we started practising our throwing and catching. We lined up in four lines and then the first person in each line has to stand behind the cone on the opposite side. Then the second person in each line have to run forward and pass the ball to person next to. When we were throwing we had make sure we pass backwards and when we are catching the key is to make a W with your had. Once we got to the end the person in front of them has to pass it to them and then that person has to go to the back of the line.

The final thing we did was play a couple of rounds of ripper rugby. We had to use all the skills we learnt today while playing our game. It was red vs green. I got eight rips and I scored one try. At the end it was a tie. I thought that our first session was fun and I learnt how to rip.

Dolphin Dive

LI:To summarise and retell a text

This week I chose a book called "Dolphin Dive" for my SSR selfie. This book is all about different types of dolphins. Did you know that a dolphin can leap as high as 20 feet out of the water? We had to answer the questions about the book in a full sentence. I found this activity really interesting because I got to learn facts about my favourite animal which is a dolphin.


Basic Fact Boxes


LI:To rememeber basic maths facts

This week I did the speed demon challenge up to 5 just for easy start. It took me 9 minutes and 20 seconds to answer the addition and subtraction questions. Even though I got all the answer correct I need to work on answering them faster. I found this activity really fun to attempt.


Explaning idiom

LI:To learn the meaning of a idiom

Today we are finishing explaning a idiom. An idiom means is a word or phrase which means something different from its literal meaning. 

Next we had to find a idiom on a website called "The idioms". Then we had to make a video of our group using the idiom that we chose. My job was being the camera girl. 

I found this activity diffucult because it took a long time for my group to take a perfect video.


Drills


LI:To recall basic facts quickly

Our groups are finishing writing down our drills. We had to copy of the math question from our chrome books to our math books. Then we had to answer them. I attemted addition sheet 1. I found this really easy because I found a pattern that helped me finish this activity fast.
