DISTINCTION MUST DO

Kauri team event

I am organising the Kauri got talent for 2015, one of my jobs is to judge the auditions (which I have written down below). I also have the opportunity to be at the front of the stage which is introducing the acts to the stage.

Today and Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, I was a judge for the kauri got talent auditions because I am an organiser for this event.  At 12:40 each day I went to the music room to set up for the auditions so we can start straight away and not waste any time setting up since there were at least 9 acts in each audition and we needed to get through all of them in 45 minutes.  We didn't muck around at all when all the acts were in the music room we started straight away.  The first act went in the middle of the music room (since that is where they perform).  When they were finished we would give them a score out of ten and when all the acts had been completed we would see the top scores eg if Anna got 5/10 and Wendy got 9/10 that means Wendy would go through to the semi finals on Friday next week.  When we had at least one act to go through to the semi finalwe could go back to class so that we could go back to class.

DISTINCTION CAN DO

Kapahaka

At Kapahaka we went straight to practicing there was NO mucking around.  We first started to practice  our school song and the actions the first time we went through our school song and actions, I think we went well but some people kept looking around for actions because they didn't know them well enough.  We went through the same song again because Matua wanted us to have fun while doing the actions because you can have fun with the actions we are doing.

After we finished practicing our school song we started to practice poi.  We ran through the song once to see how we were going, I thought as a group we did alright the Year 7/8's has got the poi actions it is just the Years 4,5 and some of the Year 6's.  I think I did well, I know all the actions with the poi and I haven't mucked up since I have learnt the actions.  We have also got actions for the full song we are doing poi too.  I like going to Kapahaka each week because we are learning different things each week so it is exciting.

DISTINCTION CAN DO

Peer mediation

Today after Kapahaka I went straight to peer mediation.  We started just outside room 24 and made our way to the kauri teams side of the field, we first went near the senior playground to see if there were any problems.  Then we went past the cricket pitch to the Kakano side of the field, after we roamed around the Kakano side of the field for a few minutes there was a little problem.  The problem was with a few boys from the Kakano team were playing with sticks and someone got a little hurt.  We thought of a solution straight away because it was pretty easy to solve this problem our solution was to NOT PLAY WITH STICKS.  That solution was a good one because after we told them the solution they started to play nicely together again.  There was some time left so we went to the courts to see if there were any problems, there was no problems when we went to the cours so that was good.  Then the bell rang and it was time to put our high vis jackets, iPad and necklaces away.  When we had finished doing that I went straight to class so we could do what was on our schedule for after morning tea and also ready to learn.

DISTINCTION MUST DO

Being a role model to younger students in the Kakano team

Today at the full school assembly I was being a role model to the younger students in the Kakano team.  I was being a role model by walking ino the hall respectfully, and looking at the person talking.  I was also not fiddling with anything or swinging my legs everywhere while someone was talking.  I was also showing respect during the house points update by communicating respectfully, clapping after each place had been announced and I was not booing any house colour.  Another thing I was doing was clapping after someone had got an award or after someone spoke ( when it was necessary to clap after someone spoke )   I also got a pozi from a teacher that thought I showed the CARE values and the care values stand for: C: stands for community, A: stands for active thinking, R: stands for respect and E: stands for excellence.  When the assembly was finished I was being a role model for the younger students in the Kakano team by walking back respectfully so the person next to me could only hear me and no one  else.
