Term 1 Kiwi Can Overview

LI: To recap everything we did in Kiwi Can.

Today in Kiwi Can we recapped all of our learning from term 1. Our big theme was Positive Relationships. Our three mouduels were:
- Positive Communication
- Friendship
- Co-operation

We made three groups. Each group talked about the 5 W's and the H about 1 moduel. After we talked as a group, each group shared there ideas back to the class.

This term I have enjoyed learning the new Moduels we learn each week. I had learnt that when you co-operate you are sharing your ideas with your team members. I think I need to be better at Active listening in my classroom and at Kiwi Can.

What is Ki O Rahi?
Ki O Rahi is a traditional Maori Sport to stop disputes and violence between tribes back in the day. The story of Ki O Rahi.

Kioma Role
In Ki O Rahi there is two teams. One of the teams are called Kioma. The game first starts off with the Kioma team getting a kicker kicking the Ki to the Kaitiaki in Pawero, and if they do not catch it or not kick properly it is a handover and the taniwha team has to try score by throwing the Ki at the tupu, and to stop that the kaitiaki has to make sure the ki does not touch the tupu. If the Kaitiaki catches the Ki then they throw it out to their team members the kioma team out in Te Au. Kioma scores trys by touching as many Po and they have to try not get ripped by the taniwha team when they touch the po and to score in pawero through te roto.

Taniwha Role
One of the other team is called Taniwha. The Taniwha team has people in te roto the lake and try's to throw the ki at the tupu and the other teams kaitiaki needs to defend. The taniwha team needs to make sure Kioma does not get a try by ripping there tags.

This week for Inquiry we have been talking about Poems.  Poetry is a type of text that can be made in different ways and shapes. Poetry can also in sound patterns they are Rhythm and Rhyme. We have been learning the different types of Rhythm and Rhyme in poems. The different Rhythm and Rhyme is:

End Rhyme - End rhyme is when you have a piece of text  that has a word at the end of it which rhymes with the next end word of the next sentence.
e.g
One two,
 buckle my shoe;
three four,
shut the door;
five six,
pick up sticks;
seven eight,
 lay them straight;
nine ten,
 a big fat hen.

Alliteration - Alliteration is repeating the beginning sounds in a word.
e.g
Dragons flew fiercley for five funny hours.

Assonance - Assonance is repeating  the vowel's in text.
e.g Try to light the high tower's fire.

Consonance - Consonance is repeating the other letter's than vowels they are called consonant.
e.g
Hickory Dickory Dock,
The mouse ran up the clock,
The clock struck one,
the mouse ran down,
Hickory Dickory Dock.

We read different types of poems and learnt what kind of poems they were out of Rthym and Rhyme. We had to highlight what think the type of poem it is. It can be more than 1 type. We also had to hightlight the poem to give evidence that it is that type of poem.
