KiwiCan is back

Welcome back to KiwiCan!We have Owen back, joined by Tia and Connor.

We are learning about Respect and how we can show respect to other people.
KiwiCan says... 
I have pride. 
I have power. 
I respect myself every hour.

Our energiser had us working together to make a: 
Maunga (2 people)
Awa (3 people)
Waka  (4 people)
Iwi (5 people).
Making Maunga
It was really hard when we had one extra person and someone had to sit out. We had to show respect while working it out to solve the problem. 
We talked about what a treaty is and the kind of things we might need to include.

Pool

It's fantastic to have a school pool on these ridiculously hot days we've been having here in Canterbury this summer.

Our closing KiwiCan

Today is our last KiwiCan session for the year. We talked about what our favourite games were, that we've played throughout the year. Silent ball was a clear favourite. Garden statues, minefield, and the chocolate game were also winners.

"Kiwican says, problems... we take them, we solve them and we own them."

We played Garden statues, with three jokers to try and make people laugh.
