Patience is when we have to wait for something in a polite way. We started Kiwi Can with our energiser and it's called Grab it. Grab It is when, our left hand is on our partners hand, which is flat.

We had to stand in two lines, in girls and boys. Then we MR C Manu would press the person at the back of the line and it keeps going on til we get to the front of the line. The person in front of the line runs and tries get the cone before the other team.

Paper Planes
LI: to use statistical and scientific methods to study the effect of the wing span.
We measured the flight distance of the planes and we recorded the flight distance. The type of graph we used was the scatter chart. One person had to throw the planes at the same strength. We used the trend line to show how high and low the planes flow. All of our planes didn't fly as well. The reasons for that could be that the plane was thrown to hard or soft and it was folded incorrectly. My interpretation as the wingspan gets bigger the flight distance is still the same.
