Positive Body language | Kiwi Can

L.I to have positive Body language.

This week in kiwi can we learned about positive Relationships and communication. A positive relationship means having good communication with someone and positive communication means sharing ideas and giving positive body language, for example, a handshake. 

Our energizer for kiwi can this week was fruit salad. So Mrs. Paige had to say a fruit like an apple that meant that we had to move our hips left. Pear meant to move your hips right, Banana meant to move your bottom forward and Watermelon means to move your bottom back. This was really fun but also awkward because when you got out you have to look at the people who are still in the game. We had two rounds of this. This Energizer was to test how well we listen. After the energizer, we talked about Positive body language. Positive body language this means having a positive attitude to a person.

These Activities were made to test our hearing and how we can be positive when we are doing something.

Our activity was Hand soccer. it is just soccer but using your hands. The rules were you could only use one hand at a time and that you couldn't use your legs or knees to kick or block the ball. We had to get into two groups and Mrs. Paige numbered each group from 1-10. it was really tiring and hard because I was versing a boy. This Activity was to see if you could be positive while playeing a game.

lastly, to finish off kiwi can we played GKQ which means General knowledge Questions. The Buzzer was to say your 'name'. The master was Chris.

Today in Kiwi Sport we had to create a DLO about the area on the field of Ki O Rahi.  We first had to partner up with a Year 5 because they had already made one so they had to share it with the year 5's. In the center of the game was the Rock which is called Tupu. Around the Tupu is the Island which is called Te Wairua. The Piriti tio is the ice bridge which represents the bridge that Rahi's father made for him. The Pou Represents the 7 teeth of the Taniwha.and the Lake is called the Roto.

Learning Chords | Music

L.I to learn how to play easy Chords.
This Week In Music we learned how to play easy chords with  Whaia Odie. Our first song that we had learned was One Call Away. I was playing on a xylophone. The first chords that we played were C, G, A and F. The next song that we had played was shot gun. It was the same as one call away but it was just notes. This song sounded way better because it was just notes. The Next song that we had played was The Lazy Song. It just had three notes which were C, F and G.
I enjoyed Music Because I got to learn new songs to play and how to play chords.
