Excellence - Can do - Librarian - #6

On Monday, at lunch, I went to the library to do my duty. As always, I needed to put the books back on the shelf to start with. After putting them away, I issued some peoples books. A few people asked me where to find the books they were looking for. For example, Rainbow Magics, Beast Boys and Bear Grylls. There were also a lot of returning going on, as the children enter in the library. I liked issuing and returning so that shouldn't be a problem. 

I demonstrated respect by answering people's questions respectfully and showing them where to get the book.

I was an active thinker by doing the right thing and sticking to the job.

Excellence - Peer Mediation - Can do - #7

Yesterday at morning tea, I did my Peer Mediation duties with Emily. It was raining a little bit, so when we put our vests on, we kept our jackets on underneath which we don't usually do, but it was really cold!

The field was shut so we didn't have as much ground to cover, but we still went around all the parts of the school that was open, including the Kakano team's part of the school, but they all stayed inside so there were no problems there at all!
It looked like almost everyone in the school stayed inside beside our class and one of the others! So there were no problems at all which was awesome!

I think that the CARE value I showed most was Active Thinking, because for once I remembered to wear the lanyard, and I think I showed leadership by making sure to do my duty, and on such a cold day when I would much rather be doing something else.

Excellence - Librarian - Can do - #5

Today I did peer mediation with Emily. Firstly we went around the field but nobody was arguing but someone was in a physical conflict so we had to take him to a teacher. Secondly we went to rooms 1,2&3 because sometimes people are having arguments about sharing equipment but nobody was. Lastly we went around the courts to see if everyone was wearing their hats, and they were. I showed respect by helping the people who were hurt. I showed leadership by showing up to my duty. I was a role model by reminding people they need their hats.

Excellence - Getting involved - Must do - #5

On wednesday  I got involved at morning tea by playing dog box with my friends. 

Firstly, we got   into a line behind the line. Secondly we went in the oder where everyone shot.

Next when you  missed you had to go into the dog box and if the next person got it in the you are out.

After that we keep going until the bell was about to ring. 

Before it did we played a game of king which is netball basically but it is the first person to get it in wins. 

Then we keep playing until the bell rang.

I showed  community by letting people  join in our game when they ask us if they could.

I also was showing integrity by playing fairly and being honest.

Excellence technology Must do #4

On Tuesday all of the year 7/8's go to Lincoln to do technology. 
I'm in design and when I go there filled out a sheet that says what we wanted to get done that day.
Secondly I filled out two sheets of what I am going to make because I had finished my cushion last week so I made a badge.
Next I softened my fimo so it would be easier to work with.
Then I found some wood samples and made two crosses and stuck them together.
After that we stuck and ribbon in the middle.

I showed excellence by helping others with what they were making.

I also was being trustworthy by not wasting the fimo.

Excellence can do Peer Mediation #6

On Monday I had Peer Mediation with Emily there were no problems again which is still good.

Firstly we went around the the filed because there are always a lot of people on it so just to make sure there weren't any problems.

Secondly  we walked though the junior area and sandpit because the juniors sometimes have problems about someone pushing them or something.

Then we when around the classrooms to see what people were doing and make sure they where in the right place.

I showed respect by not walking through peoples games so that I don't interrupt them.

I was also showing integrity by not just letting Emily do all the work.

Parliament

Parliament

This term we have been learning about Parliament. We have looked at the difference between government and parliament, NZ parliament, who is in government, how our government works and we compared democracy to dictatorship.

Three things that I learned are NZ parliament are:

• Democracy is better than Dictatorship because you have more rights in Democracy than Dictatorship 
• The speaker is from National / The government 
• There are clerk's instead of the speaker knowing all of the rules
  

Here is the link to my compare and contrast map explaining the difference between democracy and dictatorship.
