Ki o Rahi

Today LS2 completed another week of Ki o Rahi. Our kiwi sport teacher is Shanesse. Ki o Rahi is a game that retells the legend of Rahi. Today was all about fair and honesty. Each team also showed encouragement to each other. We managed to share the ball between both girls and boys. As an excitement we used rippa's today. To make this game work there were 2 teams, which were Taniwha and Keuma. To start the game off 1 person from the Taniwha team is to kick the ball to the Kaitiaks, as they are to catch it. Once the Kaitiak's have catched it they need to try and pass it to their team, which is in Te Ao -  outside of the world. Their team it to then run around and score points. If they get both of their rips taken off they are to hand the ball over to the other team. This team then tries to hit the Tupu, while the Kaitiaki is trying to block. If 2 are taken off their belts they can pass it to anther team and score the point. 

Role Models and Hero's

As an excitement for inquiry we are learning about leadership. Leadership in our school is a very strong topic, because we are great at working towards our leadership skills. For this activity we were to find the definitions for a role model and a hero. Each slide included a photo of a role model/hero. If you were wondering as you went pass you could see that the role model slide had a photo of all of your school leaders for this year. We contributed together as we listed a lot of reasons for each of these definitions.

Teamwork - Values

Today Mrs Anderson started teaching LS2 about the message of values. A value is a key competency that we use in school and out of school. Using these values will help us develop new learning skills. Today I worked on my own to complete this google drawing based on the value teamwork. In this google drawing I contained information about what teamwork is and what you might be doing when you use the value teamwork. I also added 2 images of people showing teamwork. I chose to do this value, because I think that everyone in our classroom need to know how teamwork works when we do variety of different challenges.
