To keep the gourd closed the cut of the top and used a string to keep it closed.

in the present day people use gourds for jewelry, Furniture, dishes, utensils, and decoration. People cut out a piece of the gourd and shape it then the they carve designs into the gourd and they then fill it in with something that is colorful and attach it to a string to create a necklace.

Exploring Provocation

This week we have been exploring both sides of provocation. A provocation is an action or feelings that trigger strong feelings about a topic. Our provocation that we focused on this week was 'Should NZ become a cashless Society'. In partners(or groups), we collaborated together to talk about whether or not we should become a cashless society. We thought that we should not become a cashless Society because imagine giving your card that has all of your money to a little kid. It is better with cash because their is a limit. My partner and I have created a DLO showcase this issue in NZ. 

Kiwi Can Reflection

At Kiwi Can we learnt about Leadership. This is really important this year because we are the senior students at Panmure Bridge School. We need to take risks, show confidence and be a role model for our junior students. Being a leader is hard and is something we never stop learning about. Confidence comes with practise and sometimes getting it wrong.

Places named by early explorers

We had to collaboratively and find places named by early explorers.
