Peer Meditation 5

Peer Mediation 15/3/17

Today we had peer mediation and it was ok we spent half the time looking for someone but couldn't find them so we kept going and only had to deal with one group and a little girl. So the group wasn't listening so we took them to a teacher, Then the little girl wanted to use something of another little girl's so they came to us and we helped and now they are sharing.  The leadership trait i showed is Resilient because we couldn't find the person i cheeped going and didn't worry.

Leadership Article

In writing I have been learning to:

• use all basic punctuation independently
• attempt more complex punctuation (eg semicolons, colons, parentheses)

I have been especially focussing on using parentheses and commas. I have highlighted these in green where I have used them as well as other punctuation that I changed because it was used incorrectly. Here is a piece of my writing that shows this.

Brooks Leadership Draft 28/2/17

Head Peer Mediator

Leadership is a skill of being able to motivate people/teams to work towards a goal. The 6 leadership traits are Integrity, motivational, trustworthy, resilient, goal focused and Active thinker. My key leadership role this year is Head Peer Mediator and my role is to make sure that peer mediators show up on time.

Motivational is when you encourage someone to do something. Bill gates is and great role model of this because he motivated his workers and himself to work hard and get the job done. The best thing to have in a motivational person is because if you felt moopy then a person will come and motivate you to feel happy. You can demonstrate by not feeling like it is not fun, it doesn't have to be fun you just have to act happier so kids will come and help you. Being motivational is great but another trait is being Trustworthy.

Trustworthy is great because you need to be a trustworthy to not tell anyone. Sir Edmund Hillary was trustworthy because he said he would climb mt Everest and he did so he kept his word. This is important because if they can't trust you they won't want to come to you for help. I can demonstrate this by keeping the problem to myself and not telling anyone. All the leadership traits are important and one of them is Integrity.

Integrity is a great skill to have of being honest and fair. A leader that has shown this is Bill Gates because he was honest and fair when he was playing with his little sister when he was young. This is very important because you have, to be honest and fair and not take sides even if you know the person is right. I will demonstrate this by not taking sides when I am on duty, and I won't say “oh yeah that sounds right so that is right”

In order to be a good Head Peer Mediator, I need to demonstrate effective leadership traits and work hard to do these well. So being a leader is not about bossing people around it is about working as a team and not taking sides, and showing all the leadership traits I am going to be a good Head Peer Mediator who is an effective leader.

Games with minimal or no equipment.

Games with minimal or no equipment.

In PE we have been participating in a variety of games that require little or no equipment.

Below is the Matrix which shows our progression in this unit of learning.

The table below shows my understanding of games with minimal or no equipment.

(Fill this table in, in as much detail as possible. )

Examples of Games that need minimal or no equipment.	What equipment would we usually need to play these games.	Why do we play games with minimal or no equipment?
Tricky tag Predator Cat and mouse  Battleships Hunger games	None None None Cones None	So if we don't have time to go get gear then just play a game with minimal or no equipment.

My Strengths.  

Some things that I have done well during this unit of learning are Playing any game without fighting because then the game goes faster and everyone is happier.

My Next Steps.

Some things I could improve on when playing games with minimal or no equipment are at least use cone's to do mark outs  Because Then everyone knows the boundaries.

Kapa Haka 2

Kapa Haka 10/3/17

This week we had Kapa Haka and sang ka waiata and we also learnt more of Aotearoa and that was fun. We aren't doing cultural fest this year because it is every 2 years and this is 2017 and 
cultural fest was last year so this year we don't have cultural fest so instead we just practise songs and it is fun. The leadership trait i showed is Integrity because I was sad there was no cultural fest i still showed Integrity.

Buddy Program 2

Buddy Program 10/3/17

Information about the Year 1 Unit

Introduction (Reading)
To introduce students to the concept of animal habitats, read them a book such as "My Very First Book of Animal Homes," by Eric Carle or the "Animal Homes Lap Book," by Jodene Lynn Smith. Make sure that students understand how different animals live in different habitats and ask them to guess which habitats common animals live in, such as whales or fish (water/ocean), monkeys or birds (rainforest/trees), etc.

Instruction
Explain to students that animals have different homes that they live in. Set out two boxes, one with a photo of an ocean and one with a photo of a rainforest. Then give each student the picture of an animal, all of which live in either the ocean or in the rainforest, and ask them to place their animal into the appropriate box. Possible pictures include those of whales, seals, fish, octopi, sharks, monkeys, toucans, tigers, and jaguars. Students should be able to differentiate between animals that make their homes in the water and those that make their homes in trees and on dry land.
