Kiwi Can Reflection (Term 1/ Week 7)

This week for kiwi Can we were learning about role models. Role models are people who inspire you and someone you can look up to. We started off with our energizer called hammer. It was related to the topic because we were trying to work together and trying to listen. Next we talked about who role models are in our lives and how they are role models. Most people chose their mum. After we talked about who inspires you in your family. Then we played our activity called picture it. It was related to the topic because it was about working together as a team to make the picture right. Lastly we played a GKQ (General Knowledge Questions) game called end of the road. It was girls vs boys. The goal was to try to answer the question. When the last person gets out, their team loses. It was fun today at Kiwi Can.

Tech

This week for tech everyone went tamaki college. The year 8's are finishing off their pewter casting and trying to make it to a completed mirror finish. So we have to make the casting so that we can see our face but it might not look like a perfect reflection of yourself. This tech term has been fun because it is easy, and has fun steps to go through to get the finishing product.

Exploring Provocation

L.I To consider two side of a provocation.

This week we have been exploring two sides of a provocation. A provocation is an action or speech that triggers emotions or feelings. Our provocation is that if NZ should be a cashless society. After considering both perspectives we think that we should not do this because people might need the money to survive, like what if they only have 20 dollars on there card.
