A diamante seven lines and has a 1, 2, 3, 4, 3, 2, 1 formation. The first and last word's are the beginning topic and a ending topic. the second and the second last line are two adjectives. The third and the third last line are three ING words about your topic. the fourth words are for four nouns and or short phrases. A diamante has a diamond shape as well.

For music we played in duets, duets are two people playing the same instrument at once. My partner was Xavier, we played the xylophone together.

Positive relationships

L.I to friendship.

For Kiwi can we talked about friendship. For this we played a game called secret cards, but first we had a talk about what good friends are and including other people. After that we played secret cards, in this game we got cards that had bad secrets and good secrets on them. As a group we had to decide which secret goes to the good place and which goes to the bad place and later talked about it as a class. Lastly it was GKQ time, I like it because it has many different questions.
