ANZAC poppy

To make my poppy I used the following steps:

First I coloured in my poppy head in bright red.
Next I cut out the centre of the poppy. Once finished I bent it up.
Then I attached the poppy head to a green strip of paper through centre of the poppy.
Finally I cut out the small centre of the poppy and glued it on the top.

Kiwican: Term 2, Week 1

 Our theme for this term is Integrity and our topic for today for this week was on "Honesty."

First we did an energiser which was called "Tag the rabbit". Then we spoke about our learning intention which was to understand that we need to ask questions and think about other peoples' stories to find the whole truth. Our catch phrase was Kiwi can says: "Honesty is the best policy." We then did an activity called "Wink Game" where we had to act out a scene about being honest.

 Finally we had a general knowledge quiz. We learnt a lot about co operation from Kiwi Can today.
