Kiwi Can | Respect

L.I is to be respectful.
This week was the first kiwi can of the term. The theme is to have respect. Respect means behaving yourself. The new topic in kiwi can was respect in school. We had a new leader in kiwi can. her name was Mrs Paige.

The energizer for kiwi can is No Rules Or Rules. So the game was tag but with no rules. So everyone could tag each other. It was really exhausting and boring. The next round was with rules. The first taggers were Mr Matt and Mrs Paige. It was a lot more fun and fair.

After the energizer we talked about Values. Values mean the standards and behavior in your life. My value is taking responsibility. I picked responsibility because I need to be responsible for my own doings.

When we finished doing that we got into our activity. This activity was really fun. The activity was a role-play. The role play was when there are two new students and the other students have shared lunch but the two new students didn't bring any lunch. I was one of the new students. This was really fun to do. This role-play had to do with respect.

Conflict and Resolution| Spark

L.I to analyse a story of its conflict and resolution.
This week in reading we have been learning about conflict and resolution. Conflict means an argument or disagreement and resolution means changing the conflict and ending it. We reed a book called spark. The book is about when dillon has a birthday gift and his brother harley wants a turn but Dillon said No. Then Mum and dad had a disagreement of who should have a turn but then when dillon was riding his scooter dad took it of him and gave it to Harley. When Harley got it he went to the park with the scooter. He went back home to the bathroom. The resolution in this story is that the scooter was stolen. I think that this story connects to Cinderella because when the two sisters were jealous that cinderella had a better dress.
