Overall it went pretty well I we got it done in good time and I learnt alot about what people thought of the flag.

Libarren- Can do merit

On Tuesday Xathe didn't turn up so I filled in for her with Emma shelving some books then going down to the juniors to read we had quite a good outcome with about 10-15 kids split between us and about another 5 just reading to themselves in the corner it was the best outcome I'd ever had.

On Wednesday  Me and jessica grabbed some bean bags and headed over to the deck after grabbing
 a small group of kids after reading the same book about 5 time (even though there was like 20 books)
after kids had came and gone for a bit it was nearing the end of lunch time and told the few kids that were still there that we had to start heading back.

Overall both times were really good and I the kids seemed to really like listening especially the ones that have just started school.

Juniors actives -merit badge (be a role model to the juniors)

Today while the years 7's were at camp  the year 8s  had to to teach the year 0 and 1  how to play some games  first we had to get into pairs and plan some actives for them me and warisha choose Trixie tag because not many kids would of heard of it and was easy to explain and organised

after morning tea had finished we got straight into it going to the music room and got 3 or so kids for our group.

after sitting in a circle and introducing ourselves and your  favourite school subject. We quickly explained the rules.

after the game had started the kids seemed really into it apart from sometimes I had to remind them when to get up.

after that we had a complete new group and this time instead of just doing one game we did ball tag, sneek up granny and trixe tag.

this seemed to work better for the kids because they weren't getting bored of the same game.

overall it was a lot more fun thought then I thought 

Merit- Must do (helping out around the school)

Last week  I went to the library and someone hadn't came to libarren so I filled in with Emma and went to read to the juniors it was the fist time anybody had done it so we had to explain what was happening and grouped up three kids  who were happily listening to the 4 or 5 books we had after a while more kids had joined and had a whole bunch of kids listening. Five minutes till lunch ending we started packing up and heading back to the library.
Overall it was really fun and I was very pleased of how many kids came and can't wait to do it next time.

Food Forest

Over the past two days while the year 7's have been at camp the year 8's have been working in the food forest and with the juniors.

We had to get in groups with six people and split into class or help in the food forest I had to help with food forest and had to get seedlings from the year 4's and putting them in envelopes after that half of the people had to weed while the half made a chicken coop.

some of our group even did the chop and drop.

Me and Honor did a lot of the finding easier shrubs to pull out and in the end we nearly had the whole trailer full.

Overall it was really fun and I'm really excited to work with the juniors

Must Do- technology on the bus

This week at tech on the bus to tech I sat with Samantha.W and Emma  we only talked to each other and the rest of bus seemed reasonably quiet.
When the bus stopped there was a little bit of pushing to get off the bus but that wasn't to bad.
On the way back to school I sat with Jessica and mad a small conversation only talking to her. The rest of the bus was a lot louder then on the way there.
Overall i was OK and could have been quieter.

Librarian- Can Do Merit

This week for Librarian I was reading to the juniors with Jessica.

After grabbing some books and bean bag we headed down to the junior area where I found a  girl who looked lost so I offer to read to her which she happily agreed to  after I'd nearly finished my first book  I had a group of 6 kids listening.
after I finished the first book  I choose one of the kids to pick another which they really liked because they got the chose there favorite books.
Overall it was the best turn up I'd ever had and thoroughly enjoyed it.
also all the kids got a poiz for choosing a good lunch time activities.
