Excellence Evidence ( Communication Team )

Today I went to the Communication Team in Room 11 and waited on the mat for Miss Patten. Then the people in the Communication Team and Miss Patten came to the mat and we started talking about what we could report about in the school. Miss Patten asked if I could check the PALS roster to see if it was on today. So I went outside to check it and saw that people were on today. So I went back inside and Miss Patten told me that the other people had decided to go to the junior talent show and said that I could go with them. So I went into my class and grabbed an iPad then went to the hall. I saw three acts. The first one was four girls doing a dance to a penguin song wearing penguin hats. The second act was two girls dancing to a Bruno Mars song, they had sparkly skirts and Pom Poms. The last act was the New Entrant class singing a song and one girl sang the whole song with a microphone. Then we left and sent all the videos to the communication team email and Miss Patten told us that we could go play. 

Excellence Evidence ( Librarian )

Today my friend was on librarian and I saw that not many people turned up, so I offered to help. She said I could help out so we started by putting the books away. I wasn't sure where a few of the books went so I asked my friend and she reminded me. After that we took turns at the desk. When it wasn't my turn I would walk around he library making sure everyone was 'behaving'. Then all the people that weren't there at the start for there duty turned up and so they had to many people. So I said that I would go and leave them to pack up.  

Excellence Evidence ( Communication Team )

Today I turned up to my Communication Team duty like I do every Monday. Miss Patten advised everyone in Communication Team not to start anything new, but if you were halfway through a project you can finish that off. She thanked us for coming and said we were going to start something next week.

Excellence Evidence ( Librarian )

Yesterday I went to my librarian duty and saw that it was only me and one other librarian ( out of four ). I asked Miss Ward of she wanted me to do anything, she asked me to put the books away. So me and the other librarian put all the books away and then we waited at the desk reading a book each. We had a few people come up to issue or return a book. Then Miss Ward told us it was twenty past so we told everyone in the library that the it was closing and asked them to leave, then we waited for everyone to leave then said bye to Miss Ward and left. 

Excellence Evidence ( Peer Mediation )

Yesterday I had Peer Mediation and it was the first time with my new group, it had been changed with winter sport. We were on the field and a few people kept coming up to us and talking to my the other Peer Mediator, she kept ignoring them and eventually they went away. We had no problems and we talked about who would say what in what situation. Then Peer Mediation was over we found the group after us and went off to play. 

Excellence Evidence ( Communication Team )

Today at communication team I went in and Miss Patten thanked me and the other few people for turning up because not everyone came. The previous week we took some photos and videos of the Zumba class for the year eights Wellington trip. So today we made an iMovie with them. Then Miss Patten came back and watched our movie, she told us it was awesome. 

Excellence Evidence ( Librarian )

I have librarian every odd week on friday, but last week I knew I couldn't make it because of winter sports. So the day before my duty I went to the library to see Miss Ward and see if I could change my day. She told me that there was no room on the other days and that I should just one when I can. She thanked me for coming in to tell her and not just leaving her wondering where I was.

Excellence Evidence ( Kauri Team Events ) Cross Country

Yesterday at Cross Country we went to Halswell Domain. The year 7/8s went last so we watched the other races. Then we went to play the game that some of the year 7/8s set up, it was really fun but also really hard. Then we waited a little bit more and our race was on. I was really nervous and so was my friend. We decided to run together so we both had someone supporting each other. Then the race started and we had earlier said that we would just jog-run-jog-run and so on. So that's what we did. We were almost done and then we went around the last corner toward the finish line. I was so excited that it was almost over so me and my friend sprinted to the end. We got there and they handed me a 5th place slip and said that me and her were tied.

Then........          we collapsed.

Excellence Evidence ( Kauri Team Events ) ZUMBA!

Today I was on my communications duty and asked Mrs Patten if she would like us to record the Zumba lesson in the hall. Three of us went along, so we took turns recording and joining in the fun. Then we went back to room 11 to edit the videos and next week we are going to make them into a Zumba movie. It was great fun!

Excellence Evidence ( Peer Mediation )

Today at Peer Mediation me and the other person turned up and again the third person didn't show up, so we carried on and hoped that they would turn up. So we walked around the field and then a group of year 3 girls came up to us and said some people were being mean to them so we helped them find a solution and then Peer Mediation was over and we gave our vest to the other group and went to play.  

Excellence Evidence ( Getting Involved )

Today at technology my task was to choose a partner and create a small toy/creature that had something to do with the CARE values. Isla and I created this tree. 

C= the tree itself.

A= the leaves acting as the brain.

R= the kind heart.

E= completing the task set for us. ( and having fun )

Excellence Evidence ( Librarian )

Yesterday at my Librarian duty I went into the library and asked Mrs Ward if she wanted me to do anything. There were four of us on yesterday but only two of us turned up. She told us to put some of the books away, she showed me where the books need to go. Then she told us to stay at the desk and see if anyone needed to borrow or return a book. So I got something to read and waited at the desk. Only a couple of people came to borrow and return something, but the library was very busy.

Excellence Evidence (At Technology and on the Bus)

Today at Tech me and my friend were sitting together on the bus to technology. It was really noisy so we tried to keep quiet, and not be one of the noisy ones. Then when we got to technology we went to textiles (sewing) and lined up outside. That was the second time I had been in sewing. Mrs Patterson told us that we were making a three part toy, and taught me and some other people how to use a sewing machine. Eventually I got the hang of it and made a small square on a practice piece of fabric. 

My Leadership Goal

My leadership goal for this term is to earn my Excellence Badge and to move up maths groups.

( Excellence Evidence ) Run/Bike/Run ( Kauri Team Events )

Reia and I paired up to do Run/Bike/Run and I did the two runs and she did the bike. We kept cheering each other on and when she came around doing her bike I was cheering her on and she looked so puffed after the first lap. When she got off her bike she had to run to me and tag me so I could start the last run. I was almost at the end and Mr Brown was cheering me on and that urged me on. When I finished we didn't get a place but I think we were close. Even though we dodn get a place Reia's mum got us both an ice block. 

( Excellence Evidence ) Peer Mediation

Yesterday at Peer Mediation we all turned up and started our duty. We didn't find any problems and we're just looking around to see if anyone was sad or excluding anyone else. Then I saw a couple of little boys playing and jumping in the long jump pit which was filled with water. I asked them to stay out of the water and go around it not through it because you do not want to spend the day being soaked in water. Then we found the other group of Peer Mediatiors and swapped over with them.

( Excellence Evidence ) Peer Mediation

Yesterday I did Peer Mediation and saw that one of the Peer Mediators in our group finally turned up after the fourth week I a row of not turning up. We had one problem with a year three throwing his hat into a tree. We helped him get it down and reminded him to put his hat on his head not on a tree. Then we had to find the second group of Peer Mediators to take over. 

( Excellence Evidence ) Communications Team

I meet with my Communication Team on Monday lunch time and we decided who we partnered up with to take pictures. I went with one of my friends from year 6 and there was one person left over so we let them join our group. It was raining so we took photos of some people playing inside. We went to two classrooms and made sure that we didn't take pictures of people who didn't want it. Then the bell rang and we went back to Room 11 and returned the iPad to Mrs Patten.
