We learned to play Capture the Flag, (but with a rugby ball).

CSO

Peach, apple, rest, 

We created a pattern... 

We said the pattern. Then we clapped the pattern.

We split into groups (percussion numbers).

Reading through the sheet music and clapping the beat. 

We are learning FOGUE for untuned percussion.

Hanging with Harold

We are learning about our brains with Life Education.

Today we learned about WHAM attacks. We had great examples of when we have them because we've all had them!

WHAM attack

Waiting

Hard

Angry

Mean

The Head Hustler takes your learning and your fun away from you. This sets on when we have a Fixed Mindset. He makes us think "just give up", "why try", "you're rubbish at this". He's not telling the truth... it's a wham attack stealing your learning from you. 

The Mind Master is our growth mindset and helps us make a great choice.

GRIT

Give it your all.

Resolve your problems -communicate

You are important. Know your worth.

Be tenacious - don't give up.

Take the time to do it right -have pride in what you do.

Ignore the temptation to give up! 

Redo if necessary - improve.

Planting Day

Korokia tree - it will come out in yellow flowers and red berries. (You can eat them, but they're not tasty like other berries we eat.)

We needed to tease out the roots out so that they would grow to spread out rather than bound up.

After placing it in the hole, Cayden held the tree while others filled soil into the hole. 

Next we "firm" the soil, by standing on it and "firming" it. 

We'll need to water it weekly. 

Apparently, trees don't like rock music... it's actually been studied!

Kiwican

We are learning about Whanaungatanga, Positive Relationships. Especially Fairness and Fair Play.

Today we welcomed our new Kiwi Can leader Steve. 

For our warm up, we played splash. If Owen pointed at us, we duck down and the people either side "splash" each other.

Finished off by our moo-off.

Play Day

We had our Play Day at school. We were lucky to have a star DJ in the midst of all the action... our very own James! Sadly the smoke machines cut the fun a little short by setting off the fire alarms. It turns out we're really good at clearing the buildings though. There were plenty of smiles on the field while we lined up ao it didn't ruin the fun!

Being a good role model

We recapped what it means to make good choices.

KiwiCan says... 

we are role models,

through and through, 

everything we say 

and everything we do.

We played a game where we were put into 3 teams:

- good role models

- bad role models

- bystanders

Good role models are picking up rubbish (balls) and putting them in one bin.

- bad role models Are putting the rubbish in the other bin.

- bystanders need to make a choice about which side they are going to be on. 

The group with the most "rubbish" wins. 

We talked about what a bystander is like in real life. What a good role model would do or a bad role model would do in situations like a piece of rubbish on the ground. 

We talked about how we can be role models for people older than us as well as younger.
