Kiwi Can

This week for kiwi can we had Ms. Paige and Mr. Alabati. Our theme was positive communication and our topic was voice tone. Positive communication is when you talk to someone in a positive way. Active listening is when you listen to others and voice tone is the way that you speak to other, for example happily, angrily and more. Our catchphrase was "kiwi can says, talk to me, so you can see, someone with positivity". One of the activities we played was called "Negative and Positive role plays", which was part of voice tones. For this game we got into groups and got a card which either had a positive or negative text. In groups we acted out the card, but started from negative to positive. For example someone was bullying someone. The person who got bullied was crying. The bully felt sad and went to say sorry. I've had a lot of fun playing these two activities.

For kiwi sport we played Golden Child, but the Ki O Rahi version. There were two guardians around the tapu, so they could defend the ball from touching it. Only the guardians could go through the ice bridge. One team was Kio ma and the other was Taniwha. Kio ma had to run, touch the poe and put the ball down near the ice bridge.
