Kiamanawa








Horses.
When you are riding a horse you should wear long pants or jodhpurs to stop your legs chafing or pinching against the saddle , and closed in shoes and with heel if you have any. Avoid wearing clothing that can catch against the saddle and stirrups because that could cause an accident.
There are around 58,372,106 horses in the world. A Falabella is one of the most tiny ponies in the world a fully grown one is about 1 metre tall.The smallest ever horses are Thumbelina who is 43 cm and einstein who is not even one meter tall.
Kaimanawa are one of the only native horses in New Zealand.In Maori Kaimanawa means Gardener. Kiamanawa are meant for their hardiness and temperament.Usually Kiamanawa are found in the wild but in some farms they are kept as pets to do showjumping, cross country , hunter cross but not as much dressage.
Kaimanawa are endangered species and they are sensitive to loud noise.


Kids Teach



Kids Teach
In term 2 we a program called kids teach . In kids teach everyone if they wanted to could sign up to teach a group of people how to do something there were a lot of different things some were outside activities like netball , cricket and touch rugby and some were inside activities such as drawing , dancing and computer work.
During the three sessions of kids teach I taught a dance to six people the style was jazz and the song was shake it off we got about half way through. In the last session I went online and learnt how to draw some pretty cool things.
The positive things that happened while teaching were asking people to dance by themselves for a while and that they all had a go other positive thing we're seeing all of them trying their hardest. While being taught positive thing were the kid teachers encouraging me and complimenting my work.
The things I enjoyed the most watching everyone having lots of fun learning the dance we taught them and also learning how to draw lots of cool things.
To make the kids teach program better I think that the sessions should be longer so we can teach more things and learn more things . Otherwise it was great.It would be really fun to do it again so other people can teach things and other people can learn stuff so it isn't the same people teaching and learning . It would also be fun to do it again so I can do another dance that is contemporary this time and to teach different people.
