Writing

LI: to write a narrative in the for of a play
Recently we have been working on a project to write a narrative. But the narrative is in the form of a play. So we have started to write our Orientation and parts of  the dialogue. We have also made a storyboard so it could give us a brief idea of what we are going to do for the dialogue and the play. We are carry on with this project so it is a Work in Progress.

African drumming

LI: To learn African drumming.

Johnny from Rhythm Interactive taught us four rhythms on the djembe.
Johnny taught us by singing and clapping the rhythms for us to copy. One of the call and return tunes was " I like chocolate, so do I". Johnny teaches a message to the children. That message is that " together, we can make a change".

Reflection: I enjoyed the drumming even through my hands hurt from all that drumming.
I wish PBS could do African drumming again.

Reliability

LI: To use trust and reliability.
Our theme was Integrity and our topic was reliability.
The learning that we did was how to trust people.
The activity that we played was called trust me.
One partner had to fell back and the other partner had to catch the falling partner.
My partner was Joshua.  Joshua did trust me but I did not trust him.

Hiwi the kiwi fishing for the future

LI: To be responsible in the sea or when fishing.
We were learning how to measure the legal size of the fish by using a fish ruler. We also learnt about safety and life jackets when you are using a boat for fishing remember to wear the life jackets. One rule of plastic is if you see any plastic or rubbish pick it up because New Zealand seabirds might eat it and they might thinks is that fish. When you are fishing a snapper get a wet towel so the scales of the fish won't be damage or the fish might die.
We did a challenge the challenge was to do the most stylish hand move by copying the Mrs Minstrel. We answered question and we sang some song that were Kai Moana. We listened to the Minstrel and listened to some of his safety.

Kiwi Can

LI: Follow through with what I say.
Our topic was Responsibility. Our energizer was count to twenty one.
Our activity was Goal setting.

Three things we can strive to complete by the end of term.
1. Finishing my math sheet at home (without talking to anyone)
2. Memorizing my bible verse (memorizing one verse at a time)
3.  Wearing my clothes without asking my parents.

To follow through with what we say is to actually do it.
We can show this by being responsible at home and at school this is shown by Doing a netbook monitor.

Catch Phrase: Kiwi Can says Responsible is what I am that the way of Kiwi Can.
