KiwiCan

For Kiwican one of the learning objectives is to be honest. The game we played was two truths one lie. So you had to to think about something you have done in your life that is true and think of something that is a lie. So all you have to do is guess which one is a lie.

              

Overall I had a great time doing kiwi can every term. I am so excited to do it again next term. We have a competition to see who will wins. Kiwi can will do that at the end of the term. The winner was my class. I was so happy that we won this term.

Kete - Toitutanga (Sustainability)

This cold wet morning the year seven cohort went into J2's class.  We went there because we started our new kete which is about sustainability. We watched a movie called The Lorax. 

What is the big idea of the movie?

The big idea about the movie is to look after the environment and think before you do something. You shouldn't go around cutting down trees because it gives you less oxygen.   

What does the Author want you to think about?

The author would probably want you to think about one person can make a difference.   

What are the key concepts?

Sustainability, pollution, deforestation, environmentalism, nature, endangered species and your past can affect your future.

Overall I enjoyed the movie because it was very entertaining. The movie help me learn more about sustainability because the more they were cutting trees the more polluted it was getting. The air was also getting very dirty.
