Ni hao, reader?

Today in KiwiCan, we’re talking about Positive Communication, as it’s our topic. And for the big T (Theme) is Positive Relationships.

What is Communication? Communication contains speaking respectfully, listening, not talking over others.

What is Positive Communication? Positive communication, is something that should be used frequently towards others, as a great outcome can possibly happen to you. Positive communication is also expressed by sign language, body language and facial expressions. Using positive communication could make someone’s day, or improve their mood, essentially making them happier than they were.

As for the country we learnt about today, it was China. We’ve learnt about various facts about this amazing country. – Their national animal is a Panda. Did you know the colours on the China flag have meanings(?) the yellow stars represent their important leaders, as for the red on their flag, it represents the people. There are 2 republics in China. The currency in China is Chinese Yen. The capital  of China is Beijing.

The energiser we participated in during KiwiCan, was ‘Compliment Circle’. In this energiser, we were told to form groups of 5’s, mine had six however but it’s okay. Then after we’ve created groups, we sat down in a circle and in the circle, one person had to stand up and those sitting had to compliment / say something good about that person standing.

After asking questions about the energiser, we moved on to our activity. The activity that was done was Naughts and Crosses. For a better understanding, Naughts and Crosses is like Tic Tac Toe but we had to use ourselves as the X’s and O’s (Girls and Boys) It was challenging but we managed.

Then we did GKQ (General Knowledge Questions), basically we had to form a circle, and the previous winner has to walk to the centre of the circle and choose which direction to start compete with others. If the person competing answers the question before their competition, they’ll be the one in the centre as it carries on until the last person.

Remmeber; In KiwiCan, we don’t play games, we learn new things (Skills), Life skills you can use anywhere any time.

KiwiCan is about learning values.

That’s all I believe, thank you for reading!

24. R9 – Hatchet ponder

Kia ora, Reader. I would rather suffer from starvation instead of dehydration. Because what could happen without liquid causes: Extreme thirst, a dry throat, fatigue (A feeling of extreme constant of exhaustion, burnout or lack of energy), Organ failure or death! So stay very hydrated. Starvation takes a longer time of dying, dehydration speeds up the dying process. So be with me, if you were to suffer from starvation or dehydration, just starve yourself instead. It’s better than being dehydrated. Thank you.
