Excellence must do - Kauri team event

Last week it was athletics.  Reia and myself had a huge role in the organisation as there are thousands of house points to give out for each event.As well as participating in the event. The

athletics ran  over two days  most events occurred in first day and second day it was mainly relays after we had done our events on the next Friday Reia and I spent the afternoon counting points. Overall it was a very successful day for myself and the houses.

The care value I showed was excellent because I tried my very best in all the events.

The leadership trait I showed was active thinking because I had to figure out how to calculate the points fast.

Excellence must do- Get involved

Today me Jessica and Emma went down to the juniors with some bean bags and books . Very Soon after i got there I had about 5 kids wanting to read a book after reading a few books to them Mrs Trotter came up to us with kid who had just started school and was crying and was missing her mum  and wanting to go home. We soon had her happily reading some books.(she especially liked the elephant one) Overall it was a really successful time leaving all kids smiling.

The care value I used was active thing because I thought quickly about solutions

The leadership trait I showed was resilient because I showed leadership in all aspects.

In this project I was working with Jessica and we decided to create a storybook aimed at juniors

In this project we decided that our success criteria were:

A good Children’s Story needs...	Why is this important?
Eye catching covers	Because then it will look interesting and the kids will want to read it
An interesting title	If the title is good then they will want to read it and find out what the story is about
Colourful illustrations	Because then it will look nice and they will want to read it. It surprises the reader when they turn the page and will want to keep reading
Jokes spread around the book	So it makes the book funny and interesting
Rhyme if you can	It will sound interesting and if you're trying to get a point through to the reader then they will understand easier with the rhyme

Overall our project  meets this criteria because it is eye catching design and inserting plot that will engage a younger audience

Our final project completed

WALT apply the techniques of improvisation to a range of different scenarios.

Improvisation TECHNIQUES that I would like to have more practise at are Thinking of good ideas on spot and not spend time trying to think of the answer to questions

The thing that I enjoyed most about this unit of learning was we didn't have scripted line and we could create what ever charter we want because it made it easier and more fun

The thing that I found most challenging during this unit of learning was thinking of something on the spot without knowing what I was going to say

My favourite improvisation game was the party game because you could create any character and interpret it in your own way

Koru Games

The sport I did was touch

My two highlights were...

1. Getting involved in my sport Because we really got to know each other as a team.
2. Improving on my skill over each game.

  I am proud of scoring a try because I helped my team 

Some advice I'd give to future years is, To get involved even if you aren't really into sport 

Care progress

CARE: My progress so far

The CARE award that I am working towards is:  Bronze

The one area of CARE that I am doing best in is: Active thinking           because:I am ace hiving that award the quickest

The one area of CARE that I need to work harder in is:  Excellence            because:I am barely getting an ticks in that area

To show my leadership qualities I am a role model to others in the CARE values by doing/showing these leadership traits: I am a role model to Juniors by doing every thing on the chart so they can follow.

On the CARE SOLO matrix below I am at this SOLO level: Extended Abstract           because: I can do all the care values by self and can role model it to others

Prestructural	Unistructural	Multistructural	Relational	Extended Abstract
I am not aware of the CARE values yet.	I know what the CARE values mean. I need help to use them.	I can use the CARE values. I need reminding to use them.	I can use the CARE values independently.	I can use the CARE values independently. I can role model to others how to use the CARE values.
