Hi everyone today my year 8/7 students and I were getting ready to kiwi can. First our leader Mr Numia greeted us with a Tongan malo elelei. Our theme for kiwi can was Resilience and our topic was dealing with challenges. Our learning skills were to focus  really hard on challenges. Mr Numia had to activities called DO IT and HAND CIRCLES, we got into a big circle for our first game. It was fun because it was helping me not getting distracted by others. The next game we played was do it, some of us became aware of being distracted. Finally it was time to add up our points and say goodbye.
