KiwiCan

Every week on a Monday we get to enjoy a KiwiCan session with some of our favourite people; Mr Matau and Miss Falanitama. They are always full of energy and give us a lesson that focuses on values like Respect, Resilience, Positive Relationships, Integrity.

 Yesterday we were focusing on leadership skills. Some of the things it takes to be a good leader are:

  • Listening
  • Leadership without being bossy
  • Respect for others
  • Integrity
  • Encouraging
  • Having a go at things
  • Challenging ourselves
In our discussion we talked about why it was important for us to have a go, and why it was important to encourage other people to have a go as well. 

Our energiser was a really fun game called Super Duper. You can play it by starting off as an old man or woman and then playing paper, scissors, rock against other old men/women. If you win you become a rabbit and then have to compete against other rabbits. The level above rabbits is snakes, and then final level is super hero. There were actions to do to show which level you were on. 

Our activity was rob the nest, where we tried to encourage our whole team to have a go and not give up. You can find rules for this game here: http://web.uvic.ca/~thopper/iweb09/Isaac/Site/Rob_the_Nest.html 


 We can't wait to see what KiwiCan brings next week!

 Below are some photos of us enjoying the activity outside in the bright, autumn sunshine.

Integrity Today in KiwiCan we continued our discussions around Integrity. We started with a warm up called Backwards where you had to do the opposite of the command given (Jump, Move, Stop and Clap). It made our brains hurt but was a fun way to practise integrity when we got it wrong. We also got to go outside and do a relay race that was testing our judgement on good and bad choices. Our discussion question was: How can you tell the difference between a good choice and a bad choice? We think that when you make a bad choice it not only can make others feel bad, but you get a bad feeling yourself when you know you haven't made the right choice.  There are some questions you can ask yourself if you are trying to decide whether a choice is good or bad.  How is this going to make me feel? Proud, Sad, Guilty, Excited, Brave, Disappointed, Nervous. How is this going to make others feel?   How would my mother/grandmother feel if they could see the choi...

How do you show integrity each day? Term 2 has started and so has our new KiwiCan theme of Integrity. Some of us weren't 100% sure about what integrity meant, but after today we had a better idea. Our Fruit Salad energiser was heaps of fun and helped us see the way that we can show integrity when we play games. When we just focus on ourselves and not others we can ensure that we play fair and honestly, and if we got it wrong we sat out. We discussed what a good choice was compared to a bad choice. As an example we mentioned standing up for ourselves and others like if someone is being bullied we don't just sit back but we say something to help the situation. A bad choice would be stealing a chocolate bar but we could still show integrity by deciding to fix the situation and take it back to wherever we got it from. We then did an activity called Air Rescue which was similar to tag but involved more teamwork, and also meant we needed to show integrity by being hone...
