Kiwi Can

L.I To learn about how to respect our Community

Today in Kiwi Can we talked about how to respect people from our Community and how we can respect our community. When we go into our 4 lines we were told that it was time to jump straight into our energizer. The game we played for our energizer was Remote control. For this game you needed to be scattered around in a room. Then someone is going to have to say (Fast forward, play, pause and re- wind.) When someone calls out Fast forward you have to Fast forward like a movie. You have to do that for every time someone says the control buttons. If someone says one of the control buttons and you do the wrong action you are out. We did a practise round so that everyone could understand.

After we did that we had to get onto the real game. Next once we finished our first round we got to add in another action. It was to stop. For the stop you had to lay down before everyone lays down. Once we finished that we got onto talking about how we can respect our community. I think that we can respect our community by doing the thing that they have done for us in return. Other than that I really enjoyed Kiwi Can this week. 

Next we played invisible touch. To play Invisible Touch you need to split up into a group of 2 or as many as you want. Someone was going to have to call out a number and what ever number that has been called the amount of people have to run. Then someone will have the ball. Who ever has the ball they have to run to their goal. If someone from the other team tags the person with the ball then they have the ball. The only thing is that you can't tag the same person back.

L.I To find out information about an author.
This week for Reading we had to find out information about Dr. Suess but well known as Theodor Suess Geisel. We had to find out key facts about him. For example we had to find out what country Theodor Suess Geisel  was born in. We also had to find images and we had to attribute them if they were from a site. We also had to find example stories, so we basically had to find a story that Dr. Suess made and write those into the D.L.O. We had to find four of the example stories from Dr. Suess, But the whole task was to find out information and the key facts about Theodor Suess Geisel.

This week for Inquiry we had to make a D.L.O Showing the types of Rhyme. The types of Rhyme are End rhyme, Alliteration, Consonance and Assonance. We had to work in a group of 4. In my group was Victoria, Juel and Alayah. We all worked on one of the Rhymes. I worked on Consonance. For our Rhymes we had to find at least 2 pieces information or examples. We had to get that information and examples from the 5 Dr. Suess books.

Max Gimblett | Information

L.I to find out key information about Max Gimblett and Quatrefoils
This week for Inquiry we had to find out information about an NZ Artist. His name is Max Gimblett. We had to complete a few key facts about Max Gimblett. Max Gimblett used Quatrefoils as his art peace. For this task we had to find out Where he was born, Where he grew up, Where was his art displayed, what happen to him in 2015 and what happen to him in 2016. After finding out that information we had to find out more information.

The information we had to find out was - the definition of a Quatrefoil and Why Max used a Quatrefoil as his design. Max's Design was a Quatrefoil because he dreamt that if he drew Quatrefoils the Quatrefoil would give him peace. Also we had to find out "What was the installation of the Art of remembrance?" We had to use the 5 W's to answer that question. After doing all that we got to design our own Quatrefoils.

Why did you Choose the colours and lay out how you did? For the Max Gimblett style I put gold circle shape things on it to represent a Samoan Flower drawing. I also added a blue lay out/ Background because I like the ocean. Last I added a swirly line at the back. I put it there because its a inspiration from Max Gimblett. For the Armistice day Style I added a 2 different colour Lay outs/ Backgrounds.  The colours were pink and red. I chose those colours bec3ause they look really cool together. I also added mini poppies in each circles. I added the poppies to remember the soldiers that died during World war 1 and 2. Last but not least the Christmas Style. On my Christmas Lay out I added 4 different colours for the circles. The four colours I added were Blue, red, green and Dark green. I added those colours as my background because they are like the Christmas colours. I added a Christmas tree in the middle with some presents on the bottom because it's a Christmas Theme.
