For kiwi can this week we are learning about Positive communication. What is Positive Communication? Positive communication is communicating with respect and manners.
Firstly we got into our energiser, it was called flip the cone. In this game there are 2 teams and there are multiple cones. In the 1st team you have to make the cone facing the ground. In the second team you have to make the cone face upside down.

Then we jumped into our activity called street fighter. in this game there are numbers up to 1,2,3,4,5.
Number 1 is a quick jab,the number 2 is the jab and a cross,the number 3 is a kick. Number 4 is a uppercut in mid-air while turning and lastly number 5 which is Ryu from street fighter move called Shinku Hadoken. You versus against a partner,who ever does faster they win. It was a amazing learning about communicating positively.

How to make a password

A password is basically like a lock to your device. Creating is very easy. Firstly you can create a made-up password or and a difficult one like a acronym password.The easiest way to create a password is making up a word for your password. Before you just type word, you have to make sure it's difficult to be able to guess. So make sure to add some lower and upper case letters,numbers and symbol (like punctuation marks). Lastly you can involve letters and number or symbols that look the same.
