Swimming Sports (Can Do) #1

Swimming Sports (Can Do)

On Friday, the Kauri and Kakano students went to Jelly Park.

The Kauri students did swimming sports, and the Kakano students just played around in the outdoor pool.

I was being a good role model by, doing what the teachers asked, sitting in my seat quietly and talking quietly to the person next to me.

The most challenging thing for me was, doing my speech in front of soooooooo many people.

My next step is to be more confidant.

Librarian (Can Do) #2

Librarian (Can Do)

Today at librarian, we read to the little kids, it was my first session for the year, and I really enjoyed it.

My job is to ' Take the Library down to the juniors ' which means, take books down to the juniors area, and read them to the junior kids who have know one to play with, or have nothing to do at lunchtime.

They really enjoyed the books that I read to them, partly because I chose quite good books.

Next time I would probably read the stories with more enthusiasm.

Leadership Traits 2016

Leadership Traits 2016

WALT....... How to become a better leader

My task was to explain the traits of an effective learner. 

I was learning about The Real Richie McCaw ( The Story )

Here are some examples of what we have been doing over the last few days, 

The leadership traits we used were,

Integrity	He was honest that he was going to come.	He could’ve lied to the teacher.
Trustworthy	He had to be trustworthy to the teacher because he didn’t want the teacher to tell the kids that he was there.	He wanted it to be a surprise.
Resilient	He had to be in a small cubicle like a tiny little changing room, it’s 2 metres high and half a metre wide.	It would’ve been quite tight for a rugby player to fit inside.
Active Thinker	He was an Active thinker by when they made a statue of him he came instead to give the kids a surprise.	He wanted to make kids happy.
Goal Focused	He was trying to teach the kids touch	He wanted people to enjoy what he loved.
Motivational	He was being motivational by motivating the kids to tackle him.	By encouraging the kids to try.

I think I reached Multistructual because, we had a lot of information in it, and we explained each of the traits well.

My next step is to, give more information about the text.

Technology On The Bus ( Distinction Post )

On Tuesday I had Technology.

First of all I transitioned quietly and respectfully to the bus. While we were waiting to ascend the bus I whispered to the person beside me and stayed to the side so the people on the other bus could get on.

When I was on the bus I showed the CARE values by:

- Community by staying seated and talking to the person beside me so the bus wouldn't get loud
- Active thinking by reminding people to stay seated and to talk quietly
- Respect by talking to the person beside me
- Excellence by being resilient when people wouldn't listen about staying seated and to talk quietly

When I got off the bus I transitioned quietly and respectfully to where I was supposed to be.

Formal Dance ( Having a Can-Do Attitude ) ( Distinction Post )

Formal Dance ( Having a Can-Do Attitude ) 

Today at Formal Dance, I demonstrated a Can-Do attitude by, smiling at my partner, my body language and my enthusiasm towards dance.

At first I would barely touch my partner, but now I will do it properly and have lots of enthusiasm during a dance.

My favourite dance is the Waltz and the Rock 'n' Role Reel.   

  

PALS Week 10 ( Distinction Post )

PALS Week 10

Today at  PALS, we could not decide on what game to play. We decided to play Tricky Tag.

The good thing about this game was that we didn't need any gear. The first thing we did was get the jackets, pozies and some cones just in case.

The next thing we did was setup for the game. At first we had no one, then as we got a few people, more and more kept on coming.

The game was going really well until there was a disagreement. It was a kid who thought that they got the other person first, and the other person thought the same.

I decided to use my Peer Mediation skills and sort this out. I pulled them aside so everyone else could keep playing.

The first thing I did was asked them for their sides of the story. Then I came up with a solution. I told them to do Paper, Scissors and Rock if it ever happened again.

Gala ( Distinction Post )

Today at the Gala setup, I was showing my CARE values by ..............

Community- I was showing Community by, when we were moving stuff for the White Elephant, I was being self aware of the stuff around me.

Active Thinking- I was showing Active Thinking by, thinking about how I can help out Miss 'O and Mr Ladbrook, because they already had a lot to do.

Respect- I was respecting what I was carrying around. So I wasn't running with heavy/ breakable stuff, and thinking about were I was in the school.

Excellence- I was showing Excellence by,  putting my hand up to do face painting for half an hour at the Gala.
