In our first session we learnt how to draw 3D cubes. We then had to rub out the parts we dont need such as the inside. We then moved on to shading with our pencil.

Kiwi sport - Kiorahi

This week for Kiwi sport the Yr 7/8's learnt about the history behind Kioama. We then played a game where whatever our coach Shanice called out a name from the topic Kioma we had to run to that certain place. Who ever was last did 5 star jumps. The second game we played was golden child but in a difrent form. Instead of going on the court we used the settings in the story Kioma to play our game. In the middle on the island was a rock and outside of the rock was taniwha. Taniwha had to try and hit the ball on the rock while kioma had to run around them touching the pous to get to through the island on the bridge. If Taniwha hit the rock then the the person who is running around them needs to stop. In the second round we then got 2 players from Kioma to defend the rock while the runners have turns trying to get over the bridge to saftey. During our session we learnt integrity and positive communication by encouraging each other and being honest if we were out.

Te Tiriti o Waitangi

A special event has been happening for the pass few years, which is the Treaty of Waitangi. As an excitement LS2 is working collaboratively to learn about the Treaty of Waitangi. Did you know that the Treaty of Waitangi was signed in 1840, 6th of February? More than 500 chiefs signed this. This slide included information about the Treaty of Waitangi. We did a lot of summarising, but at the same time we learnt a bunch of new vocabulary words. We collaboratively communicated together for the last task, which was to choose 2 questions and communicate with our group at the same time. The questions that we chose were what factors make a successful partnership between two people and what would Aotearoa be like today if we had no treaty. We listed down a lot of ideas, as we started talking. Talking was the main thing that helped us during this activity.
