Merit Evidence - Librarian #4

Librarian

Can do

Today I had Librarian.  We got a couple of books, they were both Barbie books because we knew how much the younger students love Barbie.

We started reading and more and more students came to listen to the books.

After we finished a few students offered to help us carry all the gear back.  We said "Yes".

We started walking back to the Library with the younger students.  We put the books away and the went outside to enjoy the rest of our Lunchtime.

The CARE Value I think I showed was Active Thinking because I remembered that the Kakano team loves Barbie.

Today I had Kapahaka.  We have Kapahaka each week because we are practicing for the Cultural festival.  We are doing 5 songs for our performance.


Today we sung He Honore for our warm up.  Then we sung Hareuia as a group because normally we spit up and the come in at different times.

After, we practiced Tahuruhuru and the year 8 girls get the opportunity to do long poi.  I can do all of the actions for long poi, there is over head, butterfly, cross over and circle (which is the easiest one).

We did that for the rest of Kapahaka.

Merit Evidence - Librarian #2

Can do

Librarian

On Monday I had Librarian duty.  I grabbed some books and I headed to the Junior area.

When I got to the Junior area, I went around and asked if anyone wanted me to read some books.  A few students said "Yes" and a few people said "No".

Once I rounded few people, I started to read.  I read 3 books and everyone seemed to enjoy them.

When I had finished, some younger students offered to help me carry the books back so everyone held a book each as there was only 3 people.

Once we arrived at the Library, I put the books back in the right place and went outside to enjoy the rest of my Lunchtime.


The CARE value I showed was Community because I got involved.
