PALS games

On Wednesday 23 march, me, Finn and James set out a game of dodgeball for the kauri team. The game was a success and the teams alright, but then, near the end of the game, the teams kind of got mixed up. But a overall it was a good game. It was decent and good fun. I really enjoyed because it got me moving and we had no problems. We were connecting with each other by thinking more about how the game is going to be. We were talking to each other about ideas we could use.

Helping out with PALS

On Tuesday at lunchtime, I helped Alex with PALS. We played French Cricket with the juniors and the seniors and had fair turns. We all agreed on the rules and no one was cheating. We thinker outside the box and split them into two smaller groups instead of one large one. I was being aware that there was lots of people playing the game and made the game more fun with more turns.

Librarian work.

On Monday 14 march, at lunchtime I was on library Duty. There were lots of books to put away when I got there. That was the first thing I did. It took a while but it was fun. I like putting away senior books because they're easier. We didn't get to do much work on issuing because not much people wanted a book. I like being a librarian because it is fun and you get to work with books. Which I like. I was collaborating with others by helping me and my partner understand about more of the library.

Kauri Assembly

On Monday 14 march we went to the kauri assembly. Firstly we sang our school waiata. Then Mrs patten talked about the CARE values in the classroom. We had a demonstration by some of the room 11 people. At the end of the assembly we had a game. Unfortunately it was only for the year fours. It was about basketball and Mr Forman won. It was fun to watch but maybe even more fun to play.

I was being self aware by listening to the presenters and keeping my hands and feet to myself. 

PALS

On Thursday I helped Brooke and Natalie with PALS at lunchtime. We played What's The Time Mr Wolf with the juniors. We only had three people playing and gave out pozis to them. We got a tiny bit of a duck duck goose in but then the bell rang. They were listening to what we were saying and playing by the rules. I showed resilience because we didn't make a fuss about not finishing the game and went with the flow.

Wainui Camp Year 7

On Wednesday 2 March the year 7's travelled to wainui park by bus. We did a lot of fun activities there and I really enjoyed it. One of my favourites were team building. A lot of the activities challenged me. The most challenging activite was high ropes because you had to figure out a way to get to the top. My team was really supportive when I was on the ropes and I was also supporting them. We we're collaborating with other and trying to discover different strategies to make it across.

Library on Mondays

On Monday after a great rest from camp, I got back to librarian. I helped put the books away and picked up stuff lying on the floor. It was a challenge to put the picture books away because I still don't get used to the numbers on the spine. I still need to work through where the right numbers are. E.g. 939.2. I showed resilience even though it was hard finding the numbers.

Kauri assembly

Today we went to the kauri assembly. Room 9 was hosting it. We looked at the dispositions for term 1

Communicate and belong.

We played a game where we had to bounce a tennis ball into a bin. We had Rishab as our representative. I got a pozi for demonstrating the assembly expectations.

I was being self aware by focusing on the presentation and not talking to the person next to me.

Library

It is really fun working at the library on Monday lunchtimes. My favourite job at the library is issuing, returning, and renewing books because I like using the scanner. I issued a lot of books. I also got to know different peoples names aswell. It is a great opportunity to work in the library. I was showing  questioning by asking questions if I wasn't sure.

PALS Touch Rugby

Our PALS game touch rugby went really well. I gave out some pozis at the end.

They were clear on the rules and didn't butt in.

What we need to work on is getting different choices of games and tell them the rules properly.

I was connecting with my buddies by talking together about how the game could go better.

Safari

Being A Librarian

On Monday 22 Febuary at lunch time Alex Alicia and I worked at the library. I did some returning and issuing on books. I really like working in the library because I like books and I want to try out a new job I have never done before.

It was hard finding all the numbers on the spine of the books, and putting them back on where that number shows.

I was connecting with my buddies to help me and my buddies understand more about the library.

Jellie Park

On Friday the 19 the whole school went to jellie park. The kauri team did swimming sports with length races and width races.

I showed resilience by trying as hard as I could and I came 3rd in both width races with kick board and without kickboard.

It was really fun because we played some house games and tried to make the biggest splash.

PALS Activities

On Wednesday 17 Febuary I had PALS on. I ran junior games with the little kids.

It was a challenge to get them all to listen when they were everywhere. We played one game (tricky tag) with the juniors and almost starting the second (stuck in the mud) but, the bell rang. I was being resilient by not giving up when I was trying to get them to listen, instead, I kept trying different strategies to solve it.

Working at the library

On Monday was my first day working at the library. I got to know how to return books,issuing books, and placing books back by their numbers. It was very nice working in the library.

I showed that I could be responsible working in the library because I was on to it and not mucking around. I was communicating with my partner and we were learning as we go.

Technology

At technology I was working with wood and hard materials. I wanted to make a clock to go with my bedroom. We did some sanding and cutting up wood. I used my community skills to help clean up after we finished. I also showed the respect value because I didn't disturb anyone and I got on with my work. I was questioning about my work if I didn't understand how to do it.
