Kiwi Can
This week for kiwi can we talked more about the new topic which is role models. Our theme is integrity, Integrity means doing the right thing when no one is looking and role model means when you do good dissensions so that if younger kids look up to you they will do the same thing as you. The games we played were bang and tooty fruity. To play Bang you will need to get into a circle and have one person in the middle. The person in the middle has to say one name from the people in the circle. Who evers name was called out will have to bob down and the two people next to them has to say bang and who ever said bang first the other person is out. But if your name is called out and you are to slow to bob down and someone says bang then you are out. You had to keep doing that until their is a winner. The last two standing has to go back to back and someone has to do a story and then there has to be a magic word and when they say that magic word the two left overs will have to say bang then who ever said bang first then they have won. To play tooty fruity you have to get into a circle and and look to the right. Then someone will have to say the three fruits which are apple,orange and banana. Apple means jump forward, orange means jump backwards and banana means turn around and face the other way. You have to try and mix it up and have one person standing.

Elective Task
This week I decided to do the elective task myself. I have done the sculpturing elective task. For the task I had to sculpt out the digestive system body parts. I made all of these body parts with pink play dough. The hardest body part to make was the Large and small intestine. The easiest was the Pancreas. I enjoyed doing this task because I know what the body parts of the digestive system look like so I don't have to look it up and I know what the body parts all do to be apart of the digestive system.
Robotics
For robotics we made little models of moving things. We made the moving things with the brain a motor and other Lego pieces that were included. I was working with Fau for 3 weeks. Next week we will have to get into new partners. We had big boxes, a tray and a organizer. The organizer was a paper that had how many of the items that had to go into the tray. There were heaps of items including wheels to make the robot move. For the Models we had to make brain balance on the motor. Fau and I had many attempts but just couldn't get there, in the end we got our brain to sit on top of the motor with a little bit of help from the teacher and Carl. On the last week of being with our partners were got to finish off our models and have a competition to see what robot was the best. We did that by putting the robot on the long tables and then pressing the button on the brain.

This week for rippa rugby we learnt more of how to play rippa rugby. We were put into groups and we had to put on a belt and a rip. Next we had to try and rip of as many rips as we can, who ever had the most rips off is the winner. The next game we played was where we have to find a partner and you have to be on a line, to see if you are far enough from each other you have to put your hand out and when your finger touches your other partners fingers then that how far you need to be from each other. Next the coach would have to say orange or yellow if he says orange then the orange team has to run to their goal and the yellow team has to chase them and rip their tag off. I was partners up with my own teacher. I had a lot of fun playing rippa rugby this week.

Persuasive Speech
My speech topic is kids should be allowed to wear anything to school. I think that kids should be allowed to wear anything to school because if you wear the same clothes like uniform you might smell a lot and stink for 5 days. Also I think that kids should be allowed to wear anything to school because it gives more confident to kids. For writing I learnt how to make a persuasive speech about a topic that I think is the right topic for me. I learnt it by thinking carefully in my mind of what speech I wanted. My three choices of my speeches were Littering,Kids should be allowed to wear anything to school and no smokes.

Kei te pai means Are you good, Kei te makariri means are you cold, Kei te riri means I am angry and Kei te wera means you are hot and sweaty.

Kiwi Sport
This week for kiwi sport our coach was Hamish. We learnt the basics of how to play rippa rugby. We had to get into three groups two groups are the non-bibs and one of the groups will be the bibs. We played a game where the bib vs the non-bibs then you had a ball and you have to pass it to the mates in your group. You have to keep passing the ball until one person has touched the goal with the ball. On the first round, when the ball is in your hands you cannot run with it. On the third or fourth round you can run with the ball in your hands but if the other team tags you with two hands on you then you have to pass the ball to your other team mates. That is all we did for this week. So going over what we did: we played about eight rounds of that game and between every two games we had to sit on the stage and then the coach Hamish would add in a rule.
