Kiwi can

This week for kiwi can we have been learning about perseverance, Team work and Resilience. This week for kiwi can games we played on the courts. The first thing we talked about was our theme and topic which are resilience and perseverance. We talked about what they are and what they mean. Resilience means recover from difficult situations and perseverance means trying your best and never giving up.

This week for kiwi can we played too games which were tangled and invisible touch. In tangled we had to spread out and somebody would be in and if you got touched by the tagger you have two hold hands or link onto each others elbows. In tangled you would have two work as a team because if you split up then you could tag anyone. The other reason you have two work as a team is so you can tag them more faster and so you don't go your own ways. It was a bit completed at the start because people wanted to do there own things but then they completed there goal at the end by working together.

In invisible touch there would be two groups which is group one and group two. When we got into our groups we had to wait until Mrs lily called a number from two to five and if you got called a number like four, four people from the start would have two run behind the netball hoop and get the ball first, If you ran to the pole before the other team did you would have the ball and if you got touch the other player would have the ball but you could not tag back the player that tagged. We learnt that in invisible touch we had to stick with the player in your team so if that player gets tagged then you can tag the player that tagged your team mate and score a try. In the last game all the players from each team played against each other including Mr Matt and Mr Ogilvie. Unfortunately our team lost but at least we tried our best.

After the games we sat down and talked about what was hard and what was easy. People found things difficult to do because people were frustrated who had the ball and people were saying they had the ball. Then we all did the kiwi can chant and got 5 points for everyone we did because we showed team work, perseverance and resilience just like they asked.
