Student Led Conference

 
This is my Term 4 Student Led Conference

Goals Reflection 15.10.15

My goals at the start of the year were;
1. To be a good leader
2. To do a science badge
3. To get a distinction leadership badge

1.  I think that I am going well with this goal because I have been trying to do as much as I can in my role and I have been helping others do the same.

2. I worked really hard in the holidays to try and get a sports science badge done and I completed half of it so I am still trying to do that one but it shouldn't take me to long to do.

3. I haven't got my merit badge yet so it's impossible to get my distinction but I am trying my hardest to reach my merit and maybe even my distinction badge.

Next step: 
My next step is to reach my merit badge because I am so close now and it's something I really want to acheive  

Koru Games 2015

Over the last 3 days I competed in Touch Rugby at Koru Games.
I really enjoyed the friendly atmosphere between all of the different teams and everyone following the fair play promise.
Thinking back to the beginning, I have improved on initiating the touch so you don't over run your mark.
Something I will remember is, making new friendships with people from other schools and making other friendships stronger.

Speech Writing: Prove it

This is some of my highlighted writing from my speech prove it:

How come teachers are allowed to wear makeup and nail polish, yet we aren't even allowed to wear coloured socks!

Aren't we supposed to be a country with equal rights? I think it should be up to the students to decide!

Have you ever got a self check because you were uncomfortable in your uniform?

This is my exit ticket:

Leadership Merit: Leadership Meeting

At this weeks leadership meeting I made sure that I woke up early and that I had the things I needed for the meeting. All of the girls were there early but some of the boys were a little bit late. Rosie and I planned the skit for next weeks assembly. I need to make sure that we practice it and make sure that the other people organising it get their bit done. The skits are hard to plan because you don't know what's going to happen on the day. 

Leadership Merit:Flags

This week I have been forgetting to put my flag out until after the bell rings so I have had to do it after school. This week the boys forgot to put out the flags twice but they still haven't done their punishment. I really need to make sure that when we pack up I do my flag and then help pack up so that I don't have to do it after school. 

Leadership Merit: Leadership Meeting

On Thursday we had a leadership meeting and we talked about doing a skit in assembly about a certain aspect of each C.A.R.E value. We needed someone to run it so I put my hand up and I am running it with Rosie. Something Rosie and I need to do is make sure the people in the skit practice because we are doing one tomorrow and I don't think anyone has practised. I am not in the skit tomorrow because I don't want to do it because I am busy at the moment and I have other things to do but I want to be in the next one.

Leadership Merit: Flags

This term the girls are on bringing the flags in and the boys are putting them out. I have gotten way better at remembering to bring my flag in. I have set an alarm on my watch to go off at 2:50 so that I don't forget. The boys have forgotten to put the flags out twice this term already and they have had to come into the girls class and say that girls are better than boys. I think that it is a really good punishment because the girls never forget. I think that something all the girls could work on is reminding the two people that never do their flag to do it.

Maths: Circle problems, area, circumference, diameter and radius.

This is a problem on IXL. 

To work this out you need to write down what you already know.

Radius= 3 

Circumference= ?

To work out the circumference you need to use the right formula which is 2×π×r=

2 times π is 6.28. So then you need to do 6.28×3 which is 18.84

So the answer is 18.84.

Careers Board

This is my Careers Board on being a Physiotherapist.

Leadership: Leadership Meeting

On Thursday there was a leadership meeting and I made sure that I woke up early enough to be there and made sure that I had what I needed. First we moved some furniture so that we could have science in the breakout hub. Then we talked about how our leadership badges were going and other stuff like that. Next time I need to come a we bit later because I was really early.

Leadership Merit: Technology

On Tuesday we had Technology. On the way to Tech our bus was getting quite loud so me and my bus buddy made sure we were quiet and that we were being sensible. At Tech I am in woodwork and we are making speaker boxes. I made sure that I listened to what Mr Bowers was saying so that I could try really hard to get as much done as possible. At Morning tea I was getting bored so I tried playing different games but the people that I was playing with kept going inside where we aren't supposed to be so I found some new people to play with so that I could still get involved.

My goals Term 3 Reflection

1. To be a good leader.
I am going good with this goal. Something that I want to improve on is making sure that I try to get involved with as much as I can.

2. To do a science badge.
I have chosen a badge to do and made a start on it but the en I haven't done more on it for a while. I am planning on doing some more soon.

3. To get a distinction leadership badge.
I just need two more weeks and then I should have got my merit so I'm not really on track to getting a  distinction. I am going to make sure I blog every week and do more homework challenges.

Leadership Merit: Flags

Every morning the girl leaders put out the school flags. This week I forgot to do them on Wednesday but I did them every other day. Next week I need to make sure I remember everyday. One thing that we all need to do is decide on what we do if it's raining because we don't want them to get broken and damaged.

Weather Forecast

Identify language features in contemporary texts

This is a follow up from a breakout.

We read the text firework and then we had to find examples of language features and write why they are used.

Leadership Merit: Leadership Meeting

On Thursday we had a leadership meeting. I was there on time and I had the things I needed. We talked about helping the younger students remember their houses and getting more house competitions ready. Next week I need to make sure I remember my book because this week I was really close to forgetting.

Leadership Merit: Technology

On Tuesday we had technology. On the way to technology I sat with Lauren and we talked to each other the whole time. I am on woodwork and we were cutting our wood and making it into a box. I helped Lauren get her box together and then we decorated our title pages together. I got my box together and got my planning ready for next week. On the way back from technology it was really loud on the bus and me and Lauren couldn't really hear each other without shouting so we only talked when it got quiet.

Reading

This is a follow up activity from one of our breakouts.

We read a text and ten had to fill in an online form.

First we had to figure out what the authors purpose was. To do this you had to think about why the author wrote this. You choose from persuade, inform and entertain. An easy way to remember this is P.I.E. The text we read was inform.

Then we had to decide what words were used in the text. To do this you have to decide if it's a a formal text or not. If it is then it will be precise words. If it's not it will use slang. The text we read was neither so it was an everyday text which uses high frequency words.

The End!

Leadership Merit: Leadership Meeting

On Thursday I had a leadership meeting. I was on time and prepared. I had to give a speech and I think I did pretty well. My feedback was to speak slower because normally I speak really fast and then when I have to speak in front of people it comes out really really fast. I need to practice speaking slow because it's a habit to speak fast. Next week we have another meeting and I need to remember to bring my green book.
