Music

I can describe the characteristics of music from songs of a different time and place


Over the past 7 weeks I have been learning to describe the characteristics of music from songs of a different time and place.


I can describe these characteristics in a piece of music
Form
Harmony
Melody
Timbre
Rhythm


Here is an example of my learning

WALT: Follow the writing process to write an exposition.

WALT: Follow the writing process to write an exposition.
For my writing I'm doing Richie Mccaw and Sir Edmund Hillary.
Here is my conclusion


Personally, I think Sir Edmund Hillary is a better leader because he has helped people and had devoted most of his life to helping them. He has used all leadership traits by helping Nepal have a better life and taking pride in all of his achievements. Also he never gave up and ended up building  36 different things in 40 years.  He had helped so many people in his lifetime and made them thankful for all the things that he had done. These are the reason why I think that he is an amazing leader.

Term 1 Integrated Learning - Leadership

We have been learning all about What makes a good leader.


We identified that good leaders show 6 main character traits. These are
Integrity, goal focused, trustworthy, resilient, active thinker and motivational.

The leadership trait that I think I show the most is resilient because
I don't normally give up when something is hard.
The leadership trait I would most like to develop is motivational because I need to encourage people more often.

Something NEW I have learned about leadership is that it is a skill.

The SOLO level that I reached during this unit of learning is relational because I can compare and contrast the traits of different leaders.

My next step in learning about leadership is to apply everything that I have learned about leadership to my own leadership roles.

W.A.L.T- I can use appropriate skills and technologies to find and use a range of texts for specific purposes

W.A.L.T-  I can use appropriate skills and technologies to find and use a range of texts for specific purposes



For my “Evaluating Leaders” research I have been researching about Richie Mccaw and Sir Edmund Hillary.


During this unit I have had to use a range of strategies to find the information I needed on Google. This include:
Cross-checking
Referencing
Advance search tool bar



I have achieved this goal because I can effectively use the advance search tool bar and cross-check my research.


My next step is to set a new reading goal.

Peer Mediation Merit #5

On Monday I did peer mediation with Maddy and Anneke we had no problems which was great. So we walked around the courts and junior area because the filed was close. When we walked in the junior area which is the playground, sandpit and one netball court. It was good to see that there weren't any problems because this is were most of our problems happen. Next we walked around the other courts and we saw people shooting hoops, playing four square and lots more games.
 I showed community by walking around the whole school to make sure there weren't any problems.
