Kiwi Can

This week for kiwi can we talked about how to be a leader and  how to be confident. First we started with our energiser called bop it. Bop it is a game where you have to try and copy the moves and not do the wrong one or be the last one to do the move. Next we were talking about being confident and how we can be confident. To be confident you need to take risks, try your best and overcome your fears. After we played our activity called bowchickawowow. It is a game where you have to copy the next persons moves. When you do the first persons move, you have to copy it and add a move.Then we moved on to talking about how to be a good lea

Tech

This week for tech we started on finishing our designs and starting to draw our design on our square piece of wood. The design that I have chosen to do is a PlayStation controller. I chose to do this because I like to play PlayStation especially PlayStation 4. Giovanni is the only year 8 that is able to pour the pewter metal into his design that he cut out. He chose to do a car for his uncle.

This week for Kiwi Can We are still talking about positive communication. We started off with our energizer called up and down. We got into teams and on team was up and the other one was down, and we flipped the cones to the team we were in. Then we did some acting I was one of the characters and at the end of the acting someone from each team tried to make me happy. Next we played street fighters. We had to be the first person to complete the actions of the number that was called before the other player you are versing there was also some combos.
