Kiwi can

 I.A.L.T upload my learning tasks to my blog and write about them.

Today at kiwi can we played high tide low tide. High tide low tide is when we get a chair and then Jodicy says high tide low tide, but she added eyes up eyes down. When she says high tide then we stand up or if she says low tide then we sit down on our chair. If she says eyes up we look up to the roof if she says eyes down we look down to the ground. After that we learnt the catch phrase: We are honest we are true we take ownership for what we do. The word for the rest of the term is accountability. Accountability is taking ownership for what you do, for example if you break someones drink bottle you have to go up and be honest and own up to what you did. After we learnt the catch phrase we played a  game it is called impossible connections. Impossible connections is when the kiwi caners put music on and we dance to the song. When they pause the song they will say 1,2,3,4 and 5 that mean's you have to get into a group of that much people and they will say a body part like hands then you have to touch each others hand. 

Here is a picture of our kiwi can.

kiwi can

I .A.L.T write about my learning from kiwican 

This morning we went to kiwican and learnt about integrity. Integrity is to always do the right thing, even when no one is looking. To remember this meaning, we learnt a catch phrase that went like this:
Right is right, even when no one is doing it.
Wrong is wrong, even when everyone is doing it.

To try and show integrity we played terminator tag and band-aide tag. We also played a game where we had to listen to a statement and run to the side of the room (good or bad) that we thought suited us the most.

What was your favourite part? 
My favourite part was playing terminator tag because we got to run around and tag each other. 

What did you find challenging?
I found playing the good or bad game challenging because we had to think of why it was good or bad.

What did you learn?
I learnt what integrity means and how to show it. 

Have you played terminator tag?
