Greetings and Salutations viewers, today in this blog, I will be discussing my experience at Kiwi can. The topics that I will be recovering are, what we did, our new topic, our theme, and what I learnt. So come with me on this wonderful journey full of problem Solving, and having quality time with my classmates.
As we entered, I got nervous because the first thing I had to do was to express a speech of appreciation to the visitors that we then saw sitting on the chairs. I did recognize the visitors and knew them by ” Nikki ” and ” Vowel ” two leaders who we have met before and played some activities. So as everybody calmed down and sat down in their chosen zones, I stood up and greeted them with warmth and kindness. After my speech, I sat down and got ready for the exciting session we were about to have.
Our country of the day, wa
s Tonga and the greeting was ” Malo E Lei ” and our new topic for the day was called ” Problem Solving ” and this topic means to identifying barriers, breaking down issues, and adapting to change. This topic means to lower daily stress, building personal confidence around people, and improves better relationships towards conflict resolution. I was intrigued to know more about this subject, because problem-solvi
ng is something that everybody has to do ultimately. And resilience is our theme of the day, which means to have the capacity to recover quickly in conflicts, and the ability to cope with challenges and bounce back.
Then we answered some questions, questions that related to the topics of “problem-solving” and we had no problems answering these questions because as I said, most of us dealt with challenges before, and we’d know how to solve these conflicts. So after the questionaire, we then moved onto the energizer which was called ” CODEBREAKER ” and the point of the game is that we were both split into two teams and we had about 9 hula hoops placed in front of us impersonating a code-machinery. So the girls went first and they got it wrong first, but 30 minutes later
( I don’t want to explain further 
Then after the long questionaire that which was estimated to be 15 minutes in my personal experience. We finally played the activity ” Human Wordle ” and the point of the game is that we get into separate groups ( 4 to be exact ) and one person is the leader, while the others are the box impersonators which say a letter and try to guess a word, furthermore, we didn’t win and had 0 wins. Then we got in a circle and had a little grounded summary of what we did and a few questions. Then we got into my favorite time of the session, ” GKQ ” which also translates to ” General Knowledge Questions ” now I would say that i’m good at this activity, but on this particular day, I was not and lost badly because I am not amazing at the hunger games trivia. Niah whatsoever, was an expert at this topic, ultimately beating 12 people in the end and giving her a podium place of 2nd place in the most people beaten. In conclusion, my kiwi-can session was fun and problematic at the same time, and our overall points were ” 90 ” thanks to our teacher ” Lorraine ” and the instructors ” Vowel & Nikki ”
Thank you for reading my blog, and I hope you have a great and wonderful rest of your day!
