Swimming Sports

On Friday the Kauri team had Swimming Sports at Jelly Park.  The Kakano team also went to Jelly park but they were outside and had time to play in the outdoor pool.

When we arrived the house captains were allowed to sit in a line of seats in front of the pool.  I then got changed into my togs and headed back to where I was sitting.  After I waited for a we while the width races started, and everyone was seated.

I then walked to help the width races and when I was walking Mr Ladbrook called me because One little girl was scared so I jumped in and gave her a piggy back so she could finish the race.  After that we cheered for all the width races in till the were finished.

After the width races it was time for games run by the house captains and house points were up for grabs.  The games were SPLASH and MADNESS, MADNESS was first and the house captains running that was Monique and Samara (Rimu's house captains) Jack M and Alicia (Kowhai house captains) and the other house captains helped them throw in the tennis balls, Frisbees and kick boards.


After MADNESS we played SPLASH and Xanthe and I were speaking.  The aim of the game lie on your tummies and make the biggest Splash you can.

After that we joined the Kakano team for lunch.

After lunch it was time for the length races and I happened to come 2nd in Freestyle and Backstroke.


Then we went back to school.

Leadership Traits 2016

Leadership Traits 2016

WALT- How to become a leader. 

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

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

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

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.

My SOLO level: I think I reached Multistrucual  because we had a lot of information in it, and I think I explained it clearly.

My Next Step: To try and give more information about the text.

DISTINCTION CAN DO

Librarian


On Tuesday I went to library to see if you the librarians needed some help, they did because one of the members needed to go somewhere so I filled in for them.
Below is what I did.


I started with putting books away in there rightful places as what letters they had on the side of the book, eg say if a book had the letter F I would put that book on the shelf under the letter F.  There was quite a few books so it took us a bit of time, after around 5-10 minutes we went around to see if there were any books facing the wrong way as you could see the pages.  There was about 3 for me and I needed to turn them around.


Then we went to the desk to issue, return, renew and reserve books out or people.  Surprisingly there were a lot of people lining up there was people who wanted to issue books and some who just wanted to return books, that took us basically the rest of the time we had left.  


It was time to ask people to leave because the library was closing, after everyone had left we went around to pick up any books that were on the floor.  I only picked one book up.

DISTINCTION CAN DO

Librarian


On Friday Samara and I offered to help Kyla with her librarian she said yes.  Before lunch time Kyla got asked to help set up athletics so she did that and we did librarian.


Ring, ring, ring the 12.50 bell went and Samara and I went straight to the library.  Once we got to the library we started to put the books back to the shelves we do that by seeing what letter is on the side of the cover and we put it on the shelve the says that letter.


Rakai turned up and started help us as it was his turn to do librarian. Then Mrs Ward said to Samara and I that we could go out and play because Rakai can do it by himself.  When then said thanks and we went to go and get our hats and started to get involved.
