Keeping Ourselves Safe
LI: to identify behaviours by other people that make them feel unsafe or uncomfortable
This week for Inquiry we started off the session talking about our personal strengths. I am really good at FIFA, but I am bad at Fortnite. I like Manga, but I don't like romance books.
We also talked about emotions. What makes happy is when I win an award, but what makes me sad is when I get beaten at something. We also learned what safe things to do when we are sad or happy. When I get angry I go away and take a breather, but when I am confused I ask someone for the correct answer, or direction.
We also learned the three type of touch which were the safe touch, confusing touch, and the unsafe touch. An example of the safe touch is a high five, a confusing touch would be a wet willy, an a unsafe touch is slap in the face.
We also talked about safe an unsafe situations. A safe situation is like staying in bed reading a book, and unsafe situation would be walking through a path you don't know well.

Ki O Rahi
LI: to learn the ares of the field in Ki O Rahi
This week for Kiwi Sport we learned the field of Ki O Rahi. The field also symbolises the story of Ki O Rahi. There is the rock Rahi was on in the middle. There was also the island in the story. In the field there was also a mote that the Taniwha made. Surrounding the mote is the teeth the Taniwha threw. Lastly there is the Ice Bridge Rahi's father made. Then there is Te Ao which is the world.
Music (Week 2)
LI: to play the chords C, F, A, and G
This week for Music we played the song "One Call Away", "Shotgun" and lastly we played "Lazy". We played those song just by using notes like C, F, A,G. We also played chords which are more than one note combined to make a sound. We played chords by missing a note then playing the note next to it. So we play those to notes at the same time.

Active Listening
LI: to be a good listener
This week for Kiwi Can we focused on Positive Communication, but firstly to start of the session we went into our Energizer. Our Energizer was called "Remote Control". So Mr Alapati was the commander who could control us. There were 6 commands he could say. The commands were: Play which was walk, Stop was to freeze, Pause was to jump, Rewind was to walk backwards, Fast Forward was to walk fast, Slow Motion was to go slow. Mr Alapati also you trick commands like jump, but jump wasn't a command, so we would be eliminated. If you didn't do the command correctly you would be eliminated.
After we talked about Positive Communication. We talked about what was communication and why it was important, also what ways can we communicate with each other.
Later we then played a game called "Chop Suey Salute". So we had numbers that were specific commands which were: 1 is to jab, 2 is to punch twice (Both hands), 3 is to punch twice then kick, 4 is to do the kamehameha action, 5 is to do a simple uppercut. We then had to do it with a buddy and Mr Alapati would call out those numbers, and if one of the buddies do the command faster they get a point. He also did combos like: 12345, which was all the commands combined. We then did it with other people and tried to find the master.
We then to finish of the session played GKQ (General Knowledge Questions).
Number Brainstorm
LI: to think flexibly about numbers
For Maths we had to learn about facts that related to the number that we chose. To start the lesson we had to get into groups of three, after we got into groups of three we had to have a brainstorm about a number, then we had to see how many equations we could find that made that number. After the brain storm we had to go off and get pick our own number and brainstorm, but we had to put it on a google doc with some other facts about the number, like pop culture, or history and more.

Tasman Fire
LI: to understand a local event through reading
For this activity we made 3 DLOs (Digital Learning Subject). We firstly read sites about an event which was the Tasman Fire. Our first DLO was a slide. We first put the Main Ideas which was the 5 W's. Our Summary Frame was to write down 20 important words, and from that 20 we had to pick 6 words which were the most important. Then we use those 6 words to make a summary of the text we are reading. Next we did Evaluating which was to summarise the text, what interesting facts we found, and what are our questions.
Next we made a poster about the Fire Hazard Rating in New Zealand, and also we talked about the Tasman Fire. We also had to follow the print design rules. Then we made a map of the Fire Areas of the North ans South Island. We also put a map of the Prohibited places in New Zealand to spark a fire.
