This week for inquiry we were learning about types of touch and safety. We first talked about safe things to do when you feel different emotions.

We then finished up a slide that was talking about types of touch which was: Touch that you like, Touch that you hate, and Touch that confuses you. After finishing that, we did the saftey cards were we had to rate the situations.

We had to that by rating from 1-5. 1 = The most safe & 5 = The most dangerous. 2 = mostly safe but can be a little dangerous, 3 = safe and not safe, & 4 = mostly dangerous but can be safe by a pinch. I had fun during the learning.

Kiwi Can | Positive Relationships

LI: To have a positive relationship towards people.

Today was the first session of the year for kiwi can. When we went inside the class we saw a new kiwi can teacher. His name was Mr. Alupati, he introduced himself to the class. We still had Ms. Paige as an kiwi can teacher. We first went over the kiwi can rules and expectations. Which were:

• No talking while the teacher is talking.
• Listening to the teacher.
• Being on your best behavior.
• Treat people the way you wanted to be treated

We first played midnight tunnels. To play midnight tunnels you partner up with two people to make a group of 3. I was with Bella and Peyton. We labeled ourselves a number. I was number 1 and when Ms. Paige called out a number that person that is that number had to run around the circle, into the tunnel and into the circle. We then played Jockeys up.

To play jockeys up we had to pair up with another person. I paired up with Jay-lee. A person in your pair had to go in the front and the other person had to go at the back. I was at the back first. When Ms. Paige or Mr. Alupati called out "Jockeys Up" the person at the back had to run around the circle and hop onto their partners back or place their hand on their partners back. It was a fun game.

At the end we played GKQ (General Knowledge Questions). It was a very fun activity. I enjoyed the session.

Kiwi Sport | The legend of Rahi and Te Ara | Kia Rahi

LI: To learn the basic skills of a Maori game.

Today LS1 went to have their first kiwi sport session with Coach Shanice, We were learning to play a game called Kia Rahi. The game was invented to create peace and harmony. We first watched a video explaining the background of the legend of Rahi and Te Ara.

The video was about a man named Rahi and one day his wife Te Ara got kidnapped. Rahi went looking for Te Ara, when he set of the kidnappers blocked the way to the forest. Rahi made a kite and flew over the wall. After that he got stopped by a Taniwha and the Taniwha wanted to stop Rahi from finding his wife. The Taniwha shot seven teeth but three stars appeared in the sky. It was Rahi's father coming to protect him. Rahi made it safely back to his village, but however he was angry that he didn't find his wife Te Ara. Rahi went with his villagers to find Te Ara. Finally they found Te Ara. We then went outside and played Taniwha and Kioma.

We split up to two groups boys and girls. When Coach Shanice shout out our groups name we had to run and the other team had to try and tag anyone in the other group. It was like cats and rabbits. After we finished playing that we played eight passes.

To play eight passes we had to pass the ball to your team eight times. At the end we lost the game bit it was still a really fun game. We then played sports mashup.

To play sports mashup we had to get into two groups and stand on the line. Coach Shanice shout out a sport and we had to playthat sport. She also had to call out the number of people to play that game. The sports that Coach Shanice shouted was: Touch, Netball, Basketball, Eight passes, and Soccer.

It was a really fun game at the end and I enjoyed it very well.
