EXCELLENCE MUST DO

Being a role model for the students in the Kakano team

On Monday it was the full school assembly and I was a role model for the younger students beta cause I was entering the hall quietly and sitting quietly while waiting for the assembly to start.  During the assembly I was being a role model by sitting up straight and also clapping at the right time and stopping at the right time.

Reflection on my goals

WALT- To achieve our goals
One of my goals was to earn my distinction badge, I think I am doing well because I have already earned my merit badge and I am close to earning my excellence badge.
Another one of my goals was to be a great leader, I think I am doing well because when there is an assembly, I am setting an example for the younger students by sitting straight, looking at the front and not talking to the person next to me.  I am also setting an example at play times.
Another one of my goals was improving in all learning areas, I think I am doing well because I have learnt lots of different things about writing,  reading and maths and I know a lot more things then I did before.

Librarian 
Today at librarian it was Samara, Lauren H,Cody and I to do our duty as a librarian.  Firstly we returned some books to the shelfs.  Then we went to the computer and returned some books that people have just read.  After that we waited for people to issue some books, return or renew books.  A few minutes after that we needed to tell people to start packing up as we were closing.

EXCELLENCE MUST DO

Get involved 

Today I got involved by playing bounce with Samara, Meadow and Skyla.  Bounce is a ball game and I got involved because I was playing a fun, energetic game instead of walking around the school and talking and also doing nothing.  We kept playing that game for the rest of morning tea and lunch, for me I think that game never gets boring because I like shooting and it is practice for me as I am a shooter for club and for winter sport and koru games.

Librarian

When I turned up to librarian at 12.50, Samara and I returned a few books to the shelfs.  Then we made sure that all the books were the right way.  We then issued a few books out for some people and renewed some books and  returned some books.  After that we processed peoples request and there were a lot of them!  By the time that was done, we needed to start packing up as the library was closing.

Reading prove it
