Kiwi Can | Resilience | Respect

LI: To learn how to treat ourselves and others with respect.

In Kiwi Can we were learning how to take responsibility for our mistakes and to respect choices of others. Firstly we had a short recap of how we can treat ourselves with respect. There was a big white board with multiple words on them. We had to choose three of them that best described us and what we like to do. Examples: Some words were Maths, Reading, Writing, Art, Sports, Technology. I would choose Art, Technology and Maths.

For the first part of our energiser we needed to split up into 4 groups. There would be a different leader for each mini game of the energiser. For the first one, the leaders were shown a card of instructions and they had to memorise it and tell the instructions to the rest of the group. The group had to cooperate to do the instructions and then sit down once done. The instructions on the card were: 5 steps forward, 4 jumps back, 3 hops forward 2 steps back and 1 jump forward.

The second part of our energiser there was a new leader. The Kiwi Can leaders told the next group leaders the instructions. Then come back and tell the rest of the group what to do. The instructions were to spell RESPECTFUL but each member of the group has to say one letter and then the next person to spell RESPECTFUL.

In the third part of our energiser there was yet again another new leader. They came back with the instructions that we had to all clap at the same time twice. We had 2 minutes to practice clapping at the same time and then we had to show the other groups how we had done.

Then we moved onto our activity. For our activity we were split into 2 different groups. We played Human knot. Both groups had to make 2 circles and linked hands with the person opposite side to them. Once all the hands had been linked we had to work together to untie the human knot back into the circle without releasing our hands.

Then we played GKQ. The questions that we were asked were linking to the topic of international and about countries and nature. Ayden had started off the game and we had to go all the way around in order to finish the game. I ended the game as Master.
