Kiwican!

Kiwican

Today we had a kiwi can session with Mr Numia. We were received a new theme for the month. Our new theme was 'Respect Community'. We talked about how we can respect our own community and what are our surroundings in our community. We had a energiser called rubbish relay. This was a fun game because we had to try throw a paper ball into the rubbish without getting it out. Our activity was called 1, 2, 3. This game is that you have to be in partners and say 1, 2, 3 without stopping. We also added some actions to make it a bit harder. We went through about what we have learnt and did a quick GKQ's. This was a very fun kiwi can session!

Holiday Activity

Young Women Activity

On the second week of the holidays, my Young womens and I had planned a activity together. We went to the Botanical gardens to do a photo shoot. We took tons of pictures with our partners, classes and our individual photos. Our pictures looked amazing and the effects on the pictures were just making us look more beautiful.

Soon after, we went to the museum to have a look around. As we entered into the museum, we went into the women exhibition and it showed many women and stories back then. Looking around the room made me emotional, because it tells us how many women are slaves and how they got paid less back in the days. Also many women were assaulted or they were assaulters. Next we went to a cultural exhibition where we find many special things from our ancestors and who they were. We walked into this lab filled with special weapons from my own country, Samoa. We saw many weapons that were created with coconut fibre, coconut trees and tiger shark teeth. This was so amazing to see many things from my own country that I didn’t even know about.

Later on, we went to the swimming pools to have fun together. Even though many of us didn’t swim, we still had fun and we ate A LOT of food. We played many games in the pool and had races with each other. We kept coming out of the pool and kept switching pools everytime. This pools was great fun.

After that, we all went to Mrs Tofa’s house to prepare dinner for our parents who were coming over and created our movie about what we did today. We all gathered around with our parents and opened ourselves with a prayer. Each young women shared what they enjoyed and why they were special. It was one of the best days during my holiday.

This was a fun hour of period cooking and we have learnt a lot about cooking!

Kiwican

Kiwican

Today in kiwican, we had a 45 minute session with Mr Numia. Our theme was resilience and our topic was perseverance. Resilience means doing the right thing and never giving up. Perseverance means to keep trying until you have finally succeed. Our energiser was a game called ball tag. Ball tag was a very fun yet tiring game. Our activity was classroom pictionary. We had to draw pictures related to the word we were given and make the students guess. We did a quick round of GKQ and we had people knowing about the world and New Zealand. 

It was a fun session!

Gymnastics - Kiwisports

Gymnastics

During the past 5 weeks, we have been learning about gymnastics. For our last gymnastic session with Ethan, we did some warms up to warm our body up by running around the hall 10 times. We all gathered around the hall and lined up in a line so we could all write our names down. Ethan told us that we had to do our first move which was for us to jump high and land on two feet. This was very difficult for us, but we kept trying until we did better. Next was the handstand and we had to see how long we could hold our weight by standing on our hands. Our third move was dong a cart-wheel with straight legs in the air. Now this one was pretty easy for all of us and basically we did very good with the third move. Our second to last move was the forward roll. We had to roll over and stand without our hands. Now with this, everyone struggled because they were use to standing up with their hands, but this was a big challenge. Our last move was jumping up in the air and trying to land at the end of the mat. Last of all, we all received bracelets that puts us in 1st, 2nd or 3rd place. I received 2nd place, so that means I have to try harder in the future.
