Encouragement

Kiwican says all aboard the leader ship. 

"A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way and shows the way,"
Playing the game "Seven".

We had to count to 7, using our legs. When we said "7", we lost that leg. We kept going around the circle until everybody was "out".

We talked about what it means to encourage someone. If someone doesn't want to do something, then you can encourage them with your words to keep trying. 

We worked together as a team, on our activity, which we did last year too. We had to step on the right cones in the right order to make our way through the mine field. We had to watch the person in front of us carefully to remember where to go.

It was great to hear such positive encouragement in the comments being made around the room. The high fives were a nice touch too!

We have come such a long way in the values that we show at KiwiCan. Today, we were being there by paying attention, encouraging each other and making the most of every opportunity. It paid off... we earned full points (20/20) plus a bonus point from Owen! No-one has ever had a bonus point before.

  1. Talofa,
    My name is Miss Mills and I am a teacher at Owairaka District School. I would just like to congratulate you all for your achievements in Kiwican. It is such an AWESOME program and everyone can learn a lot from it. Congratulations on getting a perfect score. The challenge is now is to maintain that high score. Continue with the positive comments, just a few simple words can make a huge difference to someone's day. What are you looking forward to learning about now?

    It sounds like you are true KiwiCan superstars, especially earning a bonus point when no one has ever had one before! You have obviously been an incredibly respectful group of people who have worked well together. High Fives to all of you.

    1. Hi Bree, Our students didn't go to NYLD because we only go up to Year 6, however my son went and enjoyed it (although he wished he went to the Dunedin one because Lima Sopoaga was presenting there). What was your favourite part about the presentation there?
      I do a brief blogpost from KiwiCan, while we are there each week, hence why its not a slideshow and only has a few photo's.
